You cant beat free! It is phenomenal how many companies have used this service within the past year. I also think its incredible how much money they were able to raise as well. That takes a lot of determination and motivation, so that other companies can have it for free.

For platform independent meetings on PC (including Linux) and Macs, spreed is simply the best system on the market. I have been testing a number of web meeting services. The only free web meeting service which I can recommend is spreed (http://www.spreed.com). spreed works on Linux (which I use), OS X and Windows with video, audio and screen sharing. spreed supports as the only web meeting service I have been working with, the open document formats PDF and OpenOffice.org. The more advanced features (which I have not seen with other offerings) are scalable vector presentation and loss-less screen sharing which is great if not essential for architects and builders. As a pro user you may miss telephone conferencing with the free services. Not with spreed. spreed has integrated telephone conferencing (I think they call it “Unified Conferencing”). I got a free US$ 5 telephone voucher when I created the account which is good for 8 hours phone calls in most countries of the world (1ct per minute). I can really recommend to check the service out online on http://www.spreed.com

Oops, I guess I was just doing it wrong. I've taken that specific example out.

Michael,

We completely agree – “the value in any web conferencing services can be found in the reliability, scalability, and service “. Try contacting Webex support when that plugin does not install. Or ask Webex sales a technical question.

Warm regards,

Michael, yes, I may have been a bit more snarky abut WebEx than was called for, sorry. I did try to be upfront about some of Dimdim's shortcomings, too. Anyway, I'll update the post.

Anthony,

A clarification your comment about WebEx, we do support MacOS X, as well as a Linux and Unix variants:

Of course, the value in any web conferencing services can be found in the reliability, scalability, and service delivered by the provider. Businesses are willing to pay for web conferencing services when they want a reliable, consistent experience.

Thanks for the great mention, Anthony. We’re delighted to have raised this round – especially during tough economic conditions. This really underscores the value of free, open alternatives to traditional meetings. We’re excited about the future of this space and Dimdim's potential disruptive power, especially with the help of the open source community. (BTW, Mac users simply have to click the “Hands-free” button to broadcast their audio – we'll try to make that more obvious in our next release.)

Don’t forget, you can sign up here and begin hosting your own Dimdim Web Meetings – with up to 20 people at a time – absolutely free. No download required for attendees or Mac users.
