I've spent time this week testing out the Dimdim on-line meeting service, and so far, I'm impressed. I've run several 2-machine tests and found the following:
1. Whiteboard - simple drawings and text, editable by all 2. Documents - share PPT, PDF, and PPTX (whatever that is). 3. URLs 4. Public and private chat is supported 5. Screen sharing requires a download (does not work on Linux, didn't try on Mac). 6. VoIP support through Dimdim. 7. Webcam support All of this (except the screen sharing) works with only a browser and flash. No extra programs needed. Only the meeting organizer really needs to have a Dimdim account. I'm going to set up our remote meeting next Tuesday through www.dimdim.com. If you have any interest in the remote meeting technology itself, feel free to join the meeting for a while to see how things work. I will attempt to send an invitation to the list this weekend that should allow everyone access. Many thanks go to Jeff Moore, who introduced me to this site. G.
