Hi,

Well writen review about Showdocument.com

Thank You.

Yuval

Fantastic app. I use it all the time!

Vyew.com is another free online collaboration system. Unlike ShowDocument and similar products, Vyew offers both synchronized and asynchronized collaboration, so documents can be preloaded, reviewed after the meeting is over, etc. The perpetual component is of significant value if not everyone can make it to the meeting at the same time or if it is a professional presentation that you want to setup and test before going in front of a live web audience.

Hey, here is another website http://www.BuddyMeeting.com, which offers Free online meetings and has cool tools to collaborate.

For all those users who want to do much more than just screen share or view documents, then RHUB (http://www.rhubcom.com/) offers audio video conferencing as well. There’s also a demo version that gives you a preview of what’s available.
