“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

Yugma For Your Desktop

I don’t remember how I first found out about Yugma, but this is a great piece of software for online meetings. Similar to Basecamp, you can have a limited FREE account, or varying levels of pay-for accounts. All accounts come with desktop sharing, audio teleconferencing, annotations & whiteboarding, the ability to change presenters, and public & private chats. The pay-for levels gives you scheduled sessions, recording web sessions, file storage, shared mouse & keyboard controls, and web & phone based technical support.

A coworker and I sat in my office one day, he on his laptop and me on mine, demoing this just between ourselves. It was amazing to see it work. We tried out all of the features with much success, but since we were sitting in the same office we didn’t give the teleconferencing a try. The next time I do a training session for people at a variety of locations I’m going to give Yugma a try.

Oh, and Yugma works on Windows and Mac.

  1. Of interest to Web 2.0 companies:

    Yugma will have a virtual stage at Web 2.0 (April 15-18; San Francisco). At Yugma, we believe good ideas deserve to be shared, regardless of the
    resources of their creators. That’s why we are using our software to turn our booth at the Web 2.0 conference into a virtual stage. We’re calling the project Stage 2, and are currently seeking individuals and companies who wouldn’t otherwise have a presence to share their ideas and products.

    If you have content to share (best practices, innovative idea, new invention, product or service), please visit
    http://www.yugma.com/stage2 to read more information about participating. Slot are limited, so please enter your submission as soon as possible.

    Sincerely,
