Zimbra co-founder invests in Dimdim’s open source web meetings
,----[ Quote ]
| Dharmaraj says he put his money into Dimdim because its technology
| complements Zimbra’s. Both offer open source software for different aspects
| of collaboration. Zimbra — which Dharmaraj sold to Yahoo for $350 million
| last year, and which he continues to lead from within Yahoo — offers a
| desktop client that incorporates email, documents, task management and more.
| Dimdim provides a basic suite of web meeting features which you can use for
| free (making it a more affordable alternative to web meetings products like
| WebEx and GoToMeeting).
