What remote conferencing application does your organization use? Does it work well? Are you looking for something better? Have you come across a free online meeting tool that is better than Jack's choice ? tell us why yours is better?

My company uses WebEx. Hate it - it can be useful, but it can be a pain also. Personally I wouldn't use it so fast.
Mikago link point to a cybersquatting site.
We use DimDim frequently, as the free version allows up to 25 users in a meeting. The DimDim Pro adds the ability to invite up to 50 users and record and playback the meeting, but that wasn't always a high priority for us.

Since DimDim has not yet released the code of their fork of the open source project, you can download the "pure" open source meeting tool upon which it was based, the BigBlueButton project. BigBlueButton is even available to download as a pre-configured Virtual Appliance that can be run in VMWare Player or VMWare Workstation (as well as VMWare ESX).
Thanks for the info!

DimDim

As a free host I have used DimDim for a few years and always found it to be easy for both presenter and attendee.

software is mikago or mikogo (www.mikogo.com)?
Must registered is something which people doesnot accept at all. TechRepublic has serious issue about contents.
I even disliked other 3 namely Vyew and WizIQ and Yugma as well because of this registration requirement.
And I quote:

Why is it a problem for people and/or companies who release a free version of their software to want to know who's using it?

And... I apologize if this sounds too sarcastic, but if registration for websites was such a large issue for you, why did you register at TechRepublic? wink

I'm just sayin'... wink

How does one write a review about a product and spell it's name wrong everywhere? Even the link is wrong! Anyway, it's spelled Mikogo (www.mikogo.com). Mikogo is the ONLY product I've found for which the free version is licensed for Business usage. (If there are others please let me know). Mikogo seems to be the only free option out there as a business which strives to stay legal on a limited budget. I must say it's pretty much a clone of GoToMeeting except it's free for businesses. As for restration, only the host needs to register, anyone invited to a meeting does not need to register. Just like GoToMeeting.

These tools all seem like great free alternatives for online meetings, especially for those who can?t afford the paid options. For most of these, the disadvantages seem pretty minor compared to the advantages. And they?re free of course. My only concern is with how professional these options look?do you think this is something to be worried about?
