With gas prices at an all time high, it's no surprise that more people are waking up to the benefits of online meetings  and web conferencing. Just look at year of year growth of traffic for top players Webex and GoToMeeting. Now... see below...

Given the number of smaller players and level of hyper competition in the web conferencing space, it's interesting to observe how these small players are growing via their diverse marketing strategies. Here is a snap shot of traffic growth for a couple of the more notable of these smaller emerging players: DimDim, Glance.net, Vyew, Yugma, and Yuuguu.

In the last three months, since our official launch of Yugma, people around the world have found an infinite number of applications for it. Yugma's on fire! Over 50 thousand users in over 75 countries have used Yugma. Since Yugma is super easy, universal, and cost effective (e.g., free-forever basic version, and premium version is 75% less than WebEx and Gotomeeting), people are using Yugma for everything from business, education, and in their online communities. Everyone is finding Yugma and the new Yugma widget to be must-have utility apps.

Here is just a sample of the exciting things people are saying:

1. “Live Collaboration Nirvana = Skype + Yugma”
   
2. "Weird name, but Yugma ROCKS for web conferencing! - Yugma Review"
   
3. “Yugma For Your Desktop” 
   
4. “Software Spotlight: Yugma.com”:   http://www.applegazette.com/index.php (search yugma)

We at Yugma send a big "thank you" to the entire Yugma community for spreading the word about Yugma.

 

One of Yugma's coolest features is Yugma Widgets. Anybody can have a Yugma Widget. It doesn't matter if you use Yugma FREE and Yugma Premium.

Simply get a Yugma account, set up your Widget, and then insert the widget snippet of code into your home page, blog, elearning site, customer support page, email, where ever you want.

As an example, check out PearLogic's home page http://www.pearlogic.com. If you click the "Live Support" image in the upper right, it takes you right into a Yugma session with one of their support staff. Just think of the ways you can make use of this!!!

Go ahead and make your own Yugma Widget today. It's fun. Just select your very own image, enter title and subtitle text, and select your widget button.

Here's one just for fun. Click on this button and see...

Hey, does anyone know the chords to "Kashmir?"

We launched the new Yugma FREE service in mid December and the team is delighted to see how quickly people around the world found out about us. We were convinced that there would be great interest in an easy, secure, real-time, cross-platform, and free web collaboration tool - that it would be very helpful in peoples' day to day activities. In our very first month, we've heard from so many who have told us how Yugma is making their lives easier. From lawyers using Yugma to review contracts with other lawyers, entrepreneurs using Yugma to present proposals to clients, small web-communities meeting to advance their projects, to tech companies using Yugma to remotely assist their customers. Even my daughter has been using Yugma to do some of her school projects with her friends. They think Yugma is "cool". It's exciting to see the Yugma community growing. The small team at Yugma has been passionately working on it for a while with the goal of leveraging the very latest OPEN SOURCE technologies to create a very COST EFFECTIVE collaboration tool that EVERYONE could use, anytime, anywhere. We think of it as collaborating across all of the barriers; barriers of physical distances, networking technologies, operating systems, security systems, computer proficiency, and even across limited financial budgets. In the last month we've been getting tons of great ideas about what we should do next... integrate VoIP, integrate with Skype and Google Talk, create a webinar version, create an enterprise version, make a rebrandable version, partner with specific Web 2.0 communities, and the list goes on. We thank you all for the encouragement, suggestions, and the feedback. We're very customer focused and your input means a lot to us. We're going through all of these suggestions right now and adapting the development plans to what is of most interest to the new Yugma community. In the meantime, we've just launched a Yugma TroubleShooter (see the support page), and we just added capacity to our systems and network connectivity. We'll be launching a post-session Quality Survey as well as a Yugma Service Status page in the coming days. It's all part of providing you with a secure service you can rely on.
