DimDim is a free web-conferencing program from the open-source stable that takes on stalwarts like WebEx and LiveMeeting. DimDim is based out of United States, Canada, and India, and their demo looked great.
InfoWorld posted a review on DimDim soon after the product was launched at OSCON. Matt Asay said I’ve been tracking a cool startup since Linuxworld Boston, and was glad to see them formally launch at OSCON today. DimDim is the company, and they are to WebEx and web conferencing what SugarCRM is to Salesforce.com and Alfresco is to Sharepoint (and Documentum). An open source, value-rich competitor that should keep the proprietary competition up at night.

With the number of readymade templates and wizards that PowerPoint contains, you can literally create a presentation at the drop of a hat. However, those presentations would not be great presentations, nor would they evoke interest in the audience or look any different than your everyday assembly-line PowerPoint presentation — the type you see so often. It goes without saying that some time and effort has to be spent on creating better presentations.
In this review, we are looking at something that can help you improve the look. It’s necessary to add here that a presentation with great looks and little or no content will get you nowhere. Having said that, now let us tell you more about Presenter’s Toolkit, a compendium of high-class graphics from Digital Juice that is specifically targeted to PowerPoint users.
