Follow Up to the Mastering DimDim Webinar for Jan 5, 2009

I'd like to thank everyone who attended my webinar. You've been a great audience! I hope that you learn a lot, as I have learn a lot from you. I want to answers here those questions that I couldn't answer yesterday due to the  time restraints.

• Is is possible to give someone control of your desktop via DimDim? Not yet. You need GoToMeeting or GoToWebinar to be able to do that.
• Why was I using GoToWebinar to show DimDim? I had to use another screen sharing application to show the DimDim presenter interface. To be fair, I use DimDim to show GoToWebinar presenter interface. As great as both tools are, they cannot show their own presenter interface.
• How can I create my own polls? Redirect people to a web page with a poll after they leave the session. You create that redirect by editing the session settings. You can create free polls with a number of tools, e.g. PollDaddy, FreePolls, 99Polls, PollCode.
• What's the difference between DimDim free and Pro? Visit DimDim.
• Do I have to dial-in to take part in the meeting? No. This option is available for those participants, who cannot join via web.
• How do I manage people on the dial-in connection? Just like you manage those on the web connection, i.e. click on the participant's name and give them the microphone.
• Do I have to join using my computer? No, you can join the meeting from any computer running any type of browser. It could be a computer in an internet cafe on the other side of the world.

I do want to do more of these webinars, but to do so, I need to know a little about your preferences for the days on which you'd like to attend them. I would be very grateful, if you could complete the poll below. Thank you and don't forget to visit the home page for my Online Collaboration Tools book!
