DIMDIM – Free version of Webex or GotoMeeting

Many people use Webex or GotoMeeing to meet online and share information online. I have recently come across a great free application called Dimdim. This is free for up tp 20 people in a meeting, and contains all of the usual features such as desktop sharing, whiteboard sharing and integrated voice over ip. If that doesn’t fit your needs there is also a main US phone number which everyone can dial into.

You can find out more details on it here

socialthing! – Feed Reader for Social Networks

If you use several social networks, this allows you to go to one place to view some of them (more being added all the time).

This website (which is currently in Private Beta), allows you to go to one place to view your social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

If you use software like Google Reader to keep track of various blogs, you need socialthing! to keep track of your social networks.

You can register your details on the site and should receive an invite in the near future, or contact me via the Contact Shawz page or my profile on Facebook as I have a few invites available.
