Share Your Screen for Free

Our Best of 2010 post included DimDim, our favorite free online screen sharing software at the time. Within days, SalesForce.com announced the purchase of DimDim. Suddenly our free account had a notice that soon it would no longer be free. Welcome to life on the internet!

So… a fresh round of research later, we have a new list for you. Each of these products has a free version and requires no installation of software. In other words, you can jump right in and create an account — then use it to share your screen within minutes.

Happy collaborating!

 

 

Best of 2010

Just for you, I went through ALL of the PC Magazine Top 100 websites of 2010!
Here are six that you should think about using (or using again)…

Dimdim (http://www.dimdim.com)
Free online live meetings. Share documents, make your pitch or collaborate with partners. Dimdim’s simple user interface lets you focus on holding great meetings.

Google Docs (http://docs.google.com)
Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, Drawings and more. All online. All free. What’s better than free?

MakeUseOf (http://www.makeuseof.com)
Like the name says — this site is chock full of things that are actually useful. Unlike some sites that only try to wow you with what is cool and hip, this site focuses on sites, services, software and more that you can use to save time, save money, and just plain execute better or faster. I have many sites bookmarked in my Google reader, but I return to this site again and again for practical stuff that I can use and/or pass along to others.

Amazon (http://www.amazon.com)
Sure, they sell books. But did you know they sell tons of other things in twenty-eight categories from Automotive to Watches? I bought nearly all of my Christmas gifts online this year. Can you imagine all the time (and dents) I saved by NOT getting near a mall? If you value your time as much as I do, you’ll keep a running wishlist on Amazon and order from them whenever you can get the free shipping. It’s a breeze.

FlockDraw (http://flockdraw.com)
Sometimes words are just not enough, especially for your friends and prospects that are visually oriented. When you can’t get your point across verbally, toss them a custom link from this site and draw a diagram together — right now — without even signing up! Brilliant.

Fiverr (http://www.fiverr.com)
Need an article written? Site promoted? Video testimonial created? Poem written? Get it done here — where everything is $5.00. Are there strange people here? Yes. But also the gifted and creative. Sometimes their boredom is your opportunity. Troll for some good deals but buyer beware.

PURPOSE-DRIVEN

Is your website clear on its purpose? Take a moment to review our massive list of goals that your website can have. If your site is not producing material results for your business, perhaps 2011 is the year to refine its focus and breathe new life into your online presence.
