My wife is doing a course in online learning/teaching and has been told that they will hold their next session on a service called DimDim. As I had no idea what this was I had to check it out .

From the site:

Dimdim is a free web conferencing service where you can share your desktop, show slides, collaborate, chat, talk and broadcast via webcam with absolutely no download required for attendees.

[From Dimdim: Free Live Meeting, Web Conference, Net Meeting, Online Meetings, Online Training, Desktop Sharing, Web Meeting, Free Web conferencing, eLearning, Presentation Software, Web x collaboration, Collaboration software]

But I have now tried to register using 2 different browsers, and I have to say that there is nothing worse than a web2.0 slow service.

For more than 30 minutes I have been trying this - and this is all I get

I am now giving up.

Update: 15 minutes later a email dropped into my inbox - the registration process had actually worked! I can now (or at least later on in the week) commence testing!
