ByeBye Dimdim: but you can still meet online for free with Mikogo
Big news today in the world of online meetings: Salesforce.com has acquired web meeting service provider, Dimdim. The acquisition is one thing, but according to the Dimdim website the result of this is that current Dimdim subscriptions will end, some as soon as March this year. The people at Dimdim did a good job over the last few years at promoting free web meetings, but it appears that there are thousands of Dimdim customers now who will lose their source of online meetings.

Let Your Mikogo Participants Join from Your Website – New Buttons
At the end of last year, we released a series of Mikogo buttons that we welcomed you to take and embed in your own website. The idea of these buttons is for your participants to go to your website, click on the button and be taken to the Join Session page so they can enter the Session ID and join your session. This means that you no longer need to direct your participants to the Mikogo website, but rather direct them to your own website – which could be easier for you and them if they are more familiar with your company and website than with the Mikogo website. Now we have a few new buttons to match the more popular Mikogo use cases. Read More
