Vyew – Free Anytime Collaboration and Live Conferencing
http://vyew.com/

Vyew is a next-generation online collaboration and web conferencing service that brings people and content together. With Vyew you can host LIVE conferences and work collaboratively on content asynchronously over time, ANYTIME. Inside Vyew you can author new content and collaborate with PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and PDF files, plus audio, video and images. You can also stream live or capture what’s showing on your desktop. Built-in text chat and FREE teleconferencing make live collaboration sessions highly productive. Content in Vyew is automatically saved in “VyewBooks”. VyewBooks can be shared in real-time or left ‘Always On’ for collaborators to review, edit or comment on anytime – even when you’re not present. You can also print VyewBooks and publish read-only versions of them as ‘Vyewlets’ anywhere on the web – embedded within blogs, social networks, and your web site! You can create multiple VyewBooks – saving them by topic, version or audience – and invite select persons to specific VyewBooks. VyewBooks can be switched between on-demand, and it’s easy to track activity within your VyewBooks over time. Vyew works in under 10 seconds and is entirely web-based. There’s no software to download and install – all you need is a Web browser and the free Flash plug-in which most computers already have. And Vyew is FREE to use as long as you like – there’s no limited time trial period. Simply register for FREE and you’ll be given immediate access to Vyew’s rich shared workspace and tools.
