That’s interesting. But these days, people are not just buying products based on the brand name alone. Many of them are looking for more economical and reliable solutions too. For instance, GoMeetNow (http://www.gomeetnow.com) costs just $12.95 per month but provides free audio conferencing along with video casting and screen sharing that provides great value for money.

I found dimdim works well even when the bandwidth is very low. Wah! this page gives lot of insight and helps comparative study of different products.

i have used DimDim several times and its saved me many a plane ride. works well, needs no downloads, and priced reasonably. hope they are bought/funded well and left alone to develop the heck out of this service. nice job fellas.

Can anyone say “godaddy”? There a dumb name for you… They’ll never get anywhere. Or will they? :-)

If dimdim can move away from the exe install for desktop sharing AND keep an open version available to the motivated admins, they’ll have a killer app to market. Our PCs are locked down and the admins who package software for deployment to the desktop are not exactly offering to push this out for us…

If you read all these comments it looks like everyone wants to make its one meeting-software. Even when there is already a lot of nice software out there – it’s not just dimdim, I for example prefer spreed.com. There you can see what nice software looks like.

We currently use another technology for providing voice conferencing to our clients, but I like DimDim´s value proposition, as it helps expand the market given its promised ease of use. I foresee the day when webconferencing will be as ubiquitous as e-mail is today.

Whilst Webex has stronger enterprise features, DimDim is pretty cool too. A breeze to use and well worth trying. Who says you have to choose one or the other!

Mav, thanks for the question: Dimdim is different than Adobe Connect in 3 major ways:

1. We’re free for up to 20 people (Adobe lets you meet with only 2 other people for free) And if you want to buy Dimdim, we’re about 1/3 the cost of Adobe’s offerings.

2. We’re open source. You can take our code and extend it. You can brand it with your own logo. You can access our hosted product via open APIs. Adobe does not of this.

3. We’re much easier to use. We’re 100% browser based with no plug-in required to attend or host meetings. The only time you need to install anything is if you want to share your desktop. Sharing webcam, VoIP, PPT, etc doesn’t require a thing.

Or vision is to enable the whole world to meet freely. Hope this helps!

How is didmdim different from Adobe Connect? It seems to even have a similar user interface. I don’t see any differentiators in the product/technology.
