I was talking to my cousin Mike this week and he gave me a great idea. Then I heard from my friend at FanDraft, a fantasy football live draft tool. Because so many people draft their Fantasy Football teams in person or via the phone, Dimdim is a great solution to save them time, money and travel. After all, fantasy football is about making some money and winning...so let Dimdim save you some money and help you win!
Here is how to use Dimdim to draft your team:
1. Sign up for Dimdim for free. You'll be able to host draft sessions with up to 20 people on your fantasy football team. (if you need bigger rooms you can easily upgrade at any time.)
2. Schedule a Dimdim meeting for draft day and enter the email addresses of your draft partners - an invitation will be sent automatically. Or grab our instant Webinar Widget and post it on your site or blog or tweet it to your partners & teammates.
3. Start your Dimdim meeting on draft day and share your desktop or web browser. Your partners all join via the link in the email and instantly see your computer screen while everyone talks to each other via the telephone conference bridge that comes with Dimdim for free.
4. Now collaborate in real time and pick that great team together! And don't worry, none of your draft partners need to install anything to help you pick the best players.
Ready... Set... Dimdim!
P.S. If you sign up for Dimdim or follow or RT @Dimdim or tweet #DimdimFantasy between now and Sept 13 you can win Madden 10 with a PS3, XBox or Wii system and FanDraft software! We're celebrating Dimdim, Madden and Fantasy Football!
Here is Kevin and Lou with the stuff you can win!
Here is the video description of the aforementioned Webinar Widget:

This week we officially moved into our new offices in the Cross Point Towers, Lowell, MA. As we're settling in I'll add more pictures. For now, here are some shots of how the space was transformed for us.
Thanks!

With more than 10,000 meetings and webinars happening per week on our hosted service, it's clear many are taking advantage of Dimdim Free and Dimdim Pro.
Having a great service to use doesn't guarantee a good or effective meeting/webinar -- so I'm on the hunt for the most fascinating, compelling, and powerful stories of how Dimdim is being used. I'd love to hear from you...
Is your story the best? Let me know!
Thanks!

OK, so it's not a remedy but it WILL prevent the spread of the virus while ensuring you can still meet freely. Tell everyone you know: don't cancel your business because you have to cancel your trip. Use Dimdim via any web browser and you can still meet - and breathe - freely from the comfort of your home or office.
Remember, meetings up to 20 participants are FREE (sign up for Dimdim Free and start using it within 30 seconds) and a full year of unlimited Dimdim Pro meetings with 100 participants is less than the cost of one round-trip flight: $468 for the year (that's only $39/month). Sign up for Dimdim Pro today.

Let's face it, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are boring. Wedged between Monday's painful "back to work" and Thursday's "just one more day."
This contest is closed
Congratulations to our winner @madly59!
We're hoping to improve this week for one lucky winner on Twitter by giving away one Digidesign Mbox 2, and getting the word out about Dimdim's Webby nomination.
This contest differs from our "Retweet to Win" contest (but you can join that one too!) It's not how often you tweet, it's all about
getting others to retweet for you.
Every time someone retweets your contest message, you get another chance to win (only their retweets of your message count.) Here's how the message should look when your coworkers, friends, family, neighbors, dogs, etc. retweet you:
RT <your Twitter name>: Help @dimdim win a #Webby http://bit.ly/Dimdim4Webby & retweet so I win too! http://bit.ly/retweet4u
To be clear, should be your Twitter name. For example, if I was eligible (which I'm not) I'd want to see as many people as possible tweeting 'RT @kevinmic: Support free web conferencing! @dimdim 4 a #Webby http://bit.ly/Dimdim4Webby'
The contest starts midnight (EST) Monday and
goes until midnight Wednesday (EST).
Every time someone retweets your contest message (as shown above), you get another chance to win.
More retweets of your message = more chances to win!
Get as many retweets as you can to increase your chances of winning a Digidesign Mbox 2. The Mbox 2 is some seriously cool and fun audio equipment from the leader in audio, Digidesign. It's their "most popular personal studio system ever."
The winner will be announced via @dimdim (on Twitter) this Thursday.

A name like Dimdim generates conversation. It's a name you're not likely to miss. Unless you were looking for us on the Webby Awards ballot. We were listed as "Synchronized Live Communications". (Something we provide, not who we are.)
It's tough to get above 5th place when even your committed customers and friends can't find you. That's been fixed and we are now listed under "Services & Applications" as Dimdim!
To vote for Dimdim:
- Go to the People's Voice - The Webby Awards site and sign up. (They do this to make sure votes are from people, not scripts, machines, etc.)
- Use this link http://bit.ly/Dimdim4Webby or the button below to go directly to the ballot.
Thank you for your support!

You may not have heard yet. Dimdim is a Webware 100 Finalist!
To help us get the word out, we’re hosting a “retweet” contest on Twitter (until April 30th).
What do I have to do?
To participate, all you need to do is tweet the following:
RT @dimdim: #Dimdim is a Webware 100 finalist! http://bit.ly/Vote_for_Dimdim
What could I win?
- Each day we'll surprise someone who retweets this message that day with a prize.
- Everyone who retweeted this message before April 30th will be in the running to win a Cambridge Soundworks i765.
It's as simple as retweeting this message every day and watching @dimdim on Twitter for updates and winners. These prizes are for helping us spread the message, not for voting (but if you love Dimdim, vote for us!)
Thanks for your support!

Sramana Mitra continues her work with entrepreneurs in her Strategy Roundtables. Working in collaboration with INSEAD students and graduates, Sramana gives these entrepreneurs guidance in vehicle fuel monitoring, makeup brush cleaning, computer-based simulation solutions and tools, and personalized online career consulting ventures.
[There's a slight echo at the beginning due to one of the speaker's Skype connections, it gets resolved quickly.]
