New Online Learning Collaboration App Opens Service to Public - Ted Stevenson, Small Business Computing
Yesterday we received a press release announcing the public release of Dimdim, a new open-source tool for online meetings. We've been testing some similar products of late so this caught our eye. In a move that will give you some idea of how disruptive this technology may turn out to be, the company scheduled a press conference for the announcement—to be transmitted using the product itself—and invited all interested parties to attend, which we did. Unlike any other IP-based video conferencing and/or desktop-and-document sharing application, Dimdim does not require that users download and install a software client. You just drop a URL to a "meeting room" into your browser, and you're in the meeting.
