Dimdim is a web conferencing program. Much like skype Dimdim offers video and phone conferencing for its customers. The difference however is that this program allows you to share pdf files and show pictures. Unlike the other web conferencing programs, Dimdim was created more for the business savvy individual.
Dimdim was started in February 2006. One of the important factors for the inventors was to have a user friendly product. They also didn’t want people to have to download software in order to utilize the program. Dimdim offers its services for free and does offer a paid program for its clients who want to customize their conferencing.
Even at its most basic level customers can meet up with 20 people at a time. There is also an advanced scheduling book that you can set up to plan future events. Much like the free conference calls you are given a moderator pass code and a participant one. You can send out an e-mail list and set up different time zones. You even have the option to use a white board where you can post comments that everyone can share.
Another interesting aspect is being able to host webinars on the program. All of your members can view a presentation that you have put together. You can show them by either sharing your screen or by having the option to click on the webinar option.

Tiffany, you did an excellent job explaining what Dimdim is and what they have to offer. I like the way you provided the similarities and differences for Dimdim and skype. Although I had never heard of Dimdim before this class, I am convinced after reading your blog that it can be useful. I would have loved for you to suggest different groups that use this service. I can imagine Dimdim is helpful for a lot of companies and corporations accross the nation.
