A solid one-two punch following the JumpBox for SnapLogic release last week, we put out another winner this morning. The JumpBox for Dimdim is now available and gives you a way to instantly deploy an Open Source online meeting system. My favorite feature of this one is the shared document capability – basically it gives you a real-time collaborative whiteboard with your Powerpoint or PDF in the background. You can mark it up with other people and discuss the changes with video/audio chat. Kudos to the people at Dimdim for producing a solid and usable Open Source alternative to the WebEx’s, Gotomeeting’s and Acrobat Connect services of the world.
I did another screencast to run through the basics on how to get started with it. That video is below and you can find a full time-coded table of contents to the video here. Enjoy.

Some of the best Web Conferencing tools are actually not the top name brands. VIA3 from http://www.viack.com lead the list of top vendor recommendations in the Web Conferencing Space (Full report at http://www.webconferencingcouncil.com) – Best vendor recommendations can be found there.
Another great solution for screen sharing is RHUB http://www.rhubcom.com. It not only does support web conferencing, video and audio conferencing, but also remote access.
