I’ve been following this company dimdim for sometime now and it is getting better and better. I wrote a post earlier where I was suggesting that they should position themselves as a Live eLearning Platform with the features that they have. They have gone a step further by providing integration with Moodle, an Open Source Learning Management System. Moodle and dimdim dancing together will be irresistable. The reviews that I read about dimdim’s integration with moodle are also excellent.
I also see a number of projects displayed in sites like rent-a-coder, getafreelancer etc. where the requirements are integration of Moodle and Dimdim, Moodle+Dimdim+Joomla etc. There definitely seems to be a active community that has been positioning Dimdim pretty well. I would love to hear and write about the initiatives that dimdim has been taking with respect to their positioning.
Essentially, at this rate dimdim would become a necessary backbone of any unified communication strategy of enterprises.

Sabapathyn-
Thanks for sharing this. It’s fantastic how many people are discovering our Dimdim-Moodle integration. As you have probably seen, there are three parts to our mission: easy, open, affordable. We’re tackling the easy by constantly working on the experience and using customer feedback to enhance it. We’re making web conferencing affordable with free, open source, and competitively priced web conferencing offerings. At the core is the “open”. We release our meeting server as open source and we have an published API for our hosted (SaaS), open source, and enterprise editions. A number of companies are taking advantage, and some have shared their integrations, like the one for Moodle:

We make the API generally available to inspire and encourage companies and developers to leverage our web conferencing services from any application.
Thanks!
