This week provided an opportunity to look at different synchronous communication products. Originally, I was interested in exploring dimdim. I had looked a little at this product about 3 months ago. It was also free, supported audio as well as video, desktop sharing, etc. However, looking at a couple of reviews this evening, it appears that the open source, free version is not being maintained. dimdim is now promoting another version of the product, dimdim pro. While competitively priced when compared to products like Elluminate and GoToMeeting, there is still a hefty cost involved. Also, going to the dimdim site and looking at the features of the open source product; it's not very clear about how many users are supported in a single conference. In one place it states that up to 5 users can be conferenced, in another place it states that 20 users can be conferenced.
This will require further review.
