Free Web-based Meeting Software Worth a Look

I was so pleased to read about a WebEx-like product that has a basic version for free... and a pro version starting at only $99 a year.

From PC World: "www.dimdim.com (no hassle web meetings/presentations) lets you share your desktop, presentation, or whiteboard for free-and it does so quickly. As a presenter, you must first install a browser plug-in, but on my PC that took only a minute. People joining your meeting dont' have to install anything, if they already have Flash. You can chat with participants via text or include audio and video in the meeting. DimDim worked so well in my tests that I can't imagine ever paying for a service like WebEx again."

I was even more pleased to read on their website that it works with Moodle, the Learning Management System we use here at Innovate Learning (not to mention at a host of colleges and universities). My preliminary tests show that this one is definitely worth a look.
