If you’ve ever hosted any type of webinar or online meeting…or have done any teaching in a virutal classroom…you probably learned a few lessons along the way.\u00a0 For instance, it can be expensive.\u00a0 Very expensive.\u00a0 Attendees struggle with downloading and installing software and getting their connections to work.\u00a0 And you usually have to spend a good chunk of time just learning how to use the service, so you can give your presentation in the first place.<\/p>\n
In fact, web conferencing can be so expensive and technically daunting, that it’s usually out of reach for most small businesses.<\/p>\n
Enter Steve Chazin<\/strong>.\u00a0 Steve is a former marketing guru for Apple, where he worked closely with Steve Jobs.\u00a0 And he’s one of the forces behind a new, less than one-year-old, web conferencing service called DimDim<\/strong>.<\/p>\n What does DimDim<\/strong> do?\u00a0 Well, it puts professional-level web conferencing services<\/strong> in the hands of “the little guy”.\u00a0 Services that rival those offered by Cisco and Adobe…yet are dead-simple to use and are dirt cheap (even free).<\/p>\n With DimDim<\/strong>, you can host web conferences or online meetings where you can share your computer screen with the attendees, share documents (like PowerPoint presentations), share web pages (even pages including videos), share white board presentations, have multiple presenters, record your presentations to Flash files, use VOIP, turn on or off chat features and more.<\/p>\n For both you and the attendees, there is nothing to download or install.\u00a0 It is all 100% browser based.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter if you’re on Windows or a Mac, using Firefox or Internet Explorer.\u00a0 And because it’s coming from a former mastermind at Apple, everything is simple, elegant and straight foward to use.<\/p>\n But perhaps best of all is that you can start using it for free…where you can host meetings with up to 20 people.\u00a0 If you’d like to host more attendees or take advantage of advanced features, additional plans are offered at affordable yearly rates.<\/p>\n So if you’ve been wanting to host online meetings<\/strong> but the “techie stuff” or cost has scared you away…or if you already use another web conferencing service but are tired of restrictions and paying fat monthly fees…then DimDim<\/strong> is a service you definately want to check out.<\/p>\n
