Many of the conference calls I'm asked to take these days include the use of NetMeeting, from Microsoft.

Today there's a free, open source alternative.

It's called Dimdim. It was featured this morning at Demo07 and, according to the corporate blog, the name standards for Distributed Immersive Meetings.

So next time you call me to a meeting with whiteboards, IM and whatnot, you don't need to go all proprietary on me. OK?
