Like many of us, Dimdim’s founders were scattered across the world and used an assortment of free communications tools like Skype and Hotmail to keep in touch. When they wanted to share what was on their computer screens they discovered that existing web conferencing products were all either too expensive or too complicated (or both). As accomplished software designers, they knew there had to be a better way. And so Dimdim was born.
