Dim Dim…where’s my demo?
I’ve been doing web-conferencing lately so I decided to explore the products on the market. I came across a product called Dim Dim that’s been getting good reviews. It’s in closed beta, so I have yet to see it. It’s free so let’s hope it works well. I post an update once we try the product.

Verizon Advanced Web Search….Please stop!!!
Since late October, I’ve noticed that my verizon fios Internet service is MUCH slower. Pages error out, things take longer to load, etc. Then one day I typed in an incorrect URL and got a Verizon search page. Verizon is watching all website entries and redirecting users to their own search page when a URL is typed in wrong. This is making the service much slower and it’s enough for me to start looking for another provider. I temporarily changed the DNS servers to OpenDNS.com and that’s fixed the problem…..until they do something else.

chavvon smith - has the financial industry gone crazy?
It seems that everyday I read an article about the huge losses these financial companies have incurred and the management that’s being fired as a result. If ALL the companies are posting huge losses, I would think it’s a market issue and not a management issue. Citi, Merrill Lynch and all the others seem to make it a habit to promote new management when the market is crashing. If they would keep the existing management in place, they would be able to recognize the market issues when they start to arise the next time. Experience plays a huge factor in recognizing market trends. Stop trying to find a scapegoat and just stick out the troubles. Brighter days are just around the corner…

Yuuguu.com - a free desktop sharing alternative
I’ve been playing with some remote desktop sharing applications lately and I stumbled upon Yuuguu.com. It’s a free tool that let’s you web conference and share your desktop with other users. This could be a very disruptive technology considering how big companies like WebEx and Citrix have become. If they continue to add in features, they may get acquired just to remove a thorn from someone’s side.
I’ve been using the service lately as a support tool and I’ve been impressed. It lets us do everything we need to do from a collaboration and basic support standpoint. As we use the application more, I’ll write another review.
