Yugma Skype Edtion Adds Remote Viewer
When doing presentations via desktop sharing applications there are situations where you simply want the remote parties to passively view your desktop; I have seen this customer request with several desktop sharing applications over the years where ultimate simplicity is more appropriate to the participant who is following the session. Yugma has now developed a Yugma Viewer whereby one simply enters a name, email address and session ID on the Yugma Viewer web page, downloads a small Java plug-in and is able to view a shared desktop in a separate browser window but with no ability to do interactive features such as remote control or desktop sharing. Once again this is cross-platform between Mac and Windows.

Here is a nice screencast regarding Yugma (not very flattering though): link

Over the past week I have used Yugma Skype Edition several times for demonstrations of another service in sessions involving three or four participants. It has worked quite well -- in fact, on most of the sessions the Mac/Windows cross-platform feature has been required. Most of the participants in these sessions have not been at all what I would call "technical" people. They just want to share desktops, and in practice, there was reason to share to switch shared desktops in the course of the session. Bottom line is that in two cases sales of the service (which has nothing to do with Internet communications) resulted. End point network connections and configurations can affect update speed; subsequent to one session where one participant was seeing slower updates we found that the participant had less than 20% of the download speed that I have but he was able to follow the entire session.
