There is no shortage of online meeting spaces these days. Everyone from Skype to Microsoft Google offers a way to have a face-to-face or screen to screen meeting online. I wrote about one of these online meeting space companies in an earlier post.

One of my favorite services, LogMeIn, has joined the fray with Join.me.

Join.me has a snazzy little website that is dead simple to use, as long as you’re on a Windows-based computer. The function is similar to that of LogMeIn123.com or ZohoAssist.com. The host computer downloads a file to setup the session, then the client enters a 9-digit code into the site to connect. The next time you have occasion for an online meeting, check out Join.me for a simple, free online meeting space.

If you’re looking for some space online to meet, look no further than DimDim. This free web service with a funny name offers a comprehensive package for meeting online.

Here are a few highlights:

• No software installation necessary – DimDim runs completely in your browser
• Desktop Sharing
• Use your webcams and microphones for video and conversation
• Record and embed meetings
• Social media integration

A complete run-down of the feature set is available here.

As mentioned above, a free version is available that allows up to 20 users and 1 webcam. Premium, paid packages are available, too. Here is a full-comparison of the packages.

Give DimDim a try for your next online meeting.
