			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.dimdim.com"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-17" title="dimdim_logotype-blacktext" src="http://timskaggs.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/dimdim_logotype-blacktext-300x183.png" alt="dimdim_logotype-blacktext" width="300" height="183" /></a>Traveling more than 60 minutes to a potential client meeting is a  real gamble. You don’t know if you’ll be losing in wasted gas or gaining with a new client. I’ve had that experience many of times driving up and down to Indianapolis or Louisville. I’m based in Bloomington, Indiana so I have that option, but I recently wanted to stop the gamble. I started looking through the options of web conferencing tools. There were only two big options about a year ago that most people heard of, <a href="http://skype.com">Skype</a> and <a href="http://gotomeeting.com">GotoMeeting</a>; but now there is a third, and; in my opinion, an even better option! The web application is called <a href="http://dimdim.com">DimDim</a>. I know it’s a very odd name, but it’s a great web application. Each user will need to download a very small program to your computer that is just there to detect compatible video and audio equipment. Once that is all installed the rest of the program is in your browser. It&#8217;s really that easy.</p>
<p>Why does this cut down on time? Well, no more commuting and everyone will be on time to a web conference (maybe). Let me explain in a simple &#8216;Top 5&#8243;&#8230;</p>
<p>Top 5 reasons I like <a href="http://dimdim.com">DimDim</a>:</p>
<ol>
<li>It’s easy to understand and clients can understand it easily</li>
<li>Its Free!</li>
<li>Basically nothing to install.</li>
<li>Presenting a PowerPoint, document, or desktop is easy.</li>
<li>There is Chat, Video, Audio, and Phone conferencing (this means the business partner on the road can call into a private number and enter the conversation.)</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks to <a href="http://dimdim.com">DimDim</a> I can stop traveling 60+ minutes and stay in the office and get more work done. Try it! It’s FREE! <a href="http://dimdim.com">http://dimdim.com</a></p>
