Dimdim.com - Open Source Web Meeting Software

After three years of beta testing, Dimdim has made its services available to the general public. The company has developed a solution for hosting web conferences and delivering synchronized live presentations without the need to incur into software installs of any kind.

This solution is available in several configurations, and you can sign up for a free account and carry out conferences hosting up to 20 people at the same time. Of course, a Pro version is also featured and it makes for customizing and branding web meetings. Lastly, an Enterprise edition is available and it empowers users to hold meetings without constraints of any kind, and both hosted and onsite versions are featured for added flexibility.

In addition to that, Dimdim is available as open source software. This means that anybody can make his own contribution to the project and customize it as he sees fit. The open source version has most of the features that characterize the Enterprise edition, and it is based on open source streaming and media components.

When all is said and done, Dimdim is a solution that makes for interacting over the web without the need of a desktop client, and as such it stands as a remarkable development that merits the attention it is certain to attract.

“Like many of us, Dimdim’s founders were scattered across the world and used an assortment of free communications tools like Skype and Hotmail to keep in touch. When they wanted to share what was on their computer screens they discovered that existing web conferencing products were all either too expensive or too complicated (or both). As accomplished software designers, they knew there had to be a better way. And so Dimdim was born.”

It has the potential to revolutionize web meetings, and the fact that it is an open source solution is bound to arouse more than a fair share of interest.
