I tested it yesterday, seems to be stable but with considerable lag... spreed.com.au is hosted here in Australia and may be better for conferencing (latency is low) - different pricing model to DimDim but worth considering. Steve. Rheinard,

We’ve discontinued DimDim on the medusa server (at least for now) but dimdim.com are finally offering a beta version hosted on their servers, free of charge. I tested it yesterday, seems to be stable but with considerable lag…

spreed.com.au is hosted here in Australia and may be better for conferencing (latency is low) - different pricing model to DimDim but worth considering.

I think, at its core, is a different political and philosophical perspective. Have you heard about the OScarproject and WikiEducator (Leigh Blackall spoke about this in his presentation at UB last November)? Open courseware seems to be gaining in popularity since MIT introduced it a few years ago... Great post! ‘Open source’ development is an interesting phenomenon. I think, at its core, is a different political and philosophical perspective.

Twitterrific's development is funded by ads via The Deck and is not feature limited in any way. Registering the app simply removes the Deck ads from the tweet timeline for those who don't want to view them. Thanks for letting me clarify that point.
