OK, so it's not a remedy but it WILL prevent the spread of the virus while ensuring you can still meet freely. Tell everyone you know: don't cancel your business because you have to cancel your trip. Use Dimdim via any web browser and you can still meet - and breathe - freely from the comfort of your home or office.
Remember, meetings up to 20 participants are FREE (sign up for Dimdim Free and start using it within 30 seconds) and a full year of unlimited Dimdim Pro meetings with 100 participants is less than the cost of one round-trip flight: $468 for the year (that's only $39/month). Sign up for Dimdim Pro today.

Let's face it, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are boring. Wedged between Monday's painful "back to work" and Thursday's "just one more day."
This contest is closed
Congratulations to our winner @madly59!
We're hoping to improve this week for one lucky winner on Twitter by giving away one Digidesign Mbox 2, and getting the word out about Dimdim's Webby nomination.
This contest differs from our "Retweet to Win" contest (but you can join that one too!) It's not how often you tweet, it's all about
getting others to retweet for you.
Every time someone retweets your contest message, you get another chance to win (only their retweets of your message count.) Here's how the message should look when your coworkers, friends, family, neighbors, dogs, etc. retweet you:
RT <your Twitter name>: Help @dimdim win a #Webby http://bit.ly/Dimdim4Webby & retweet so I win too! http://bit.ly/retweet4u
To be clear, should be your Twitter name. For example, if I was eligible (which I'm not) I'd want to see as many people as possible tweeting 'RT @kevinmic: Support free web conferencing! @dimdim 4 a #Webby http://bit.ly/Dimdim4Webby'
The contest starts midnight (EST) Monday and
goes until midnight Wednesday (EST).
Every time someone retweets your contest message (as shown above), you get another chance to win.
More retweets of your message = more chances to win!
Get as many retweets as you can to increase your chances of winning a Digidesign Mbox 2. The Mbox 2 is some seriously cool and fun audio equipment from the leader in audio, Digidesign. It's their "most popular personal studio system ever."
The winner will be announced via @dimdim (on Twitter) this Thursday.

A name like Dimdim generates conversation. It's a name you're not likely to miss. Unless you were looking for us on the Webby Awards ballot. We were listed as "Synchronized Live Communications". (Something we provide, not who we are.)
It's tough to get above 5th place when even your committed customers and friends can't find you. That's been fixed and we are now listed under "Services & Applications" as Dimdim!
To vote for Dimdim:
- Go to the People's Voice - The Webby Awards site and sign up. (They do this to make sure votes are from people, not scripts, machines, etc.)
- Use this link http://bit.ly/Dimdim4Webby or the button below to go directly to the ballot.
Thank you for your support!

You may not have heard yet. Dimdim is a Webware 100 Finalist!
To help us get the word out, we’re hosting a “retweet” contest on Twitter (until April 30th).
What do I have to do?
To participate, all you need to do is tweet the following:
RT @dimdim: #Dimdim is a Webware 100 finalist! http://bit.ly/Vote_for_Dimdim
What could I win?
- Each day we'll surprise someone who retweets this message that day with a prize.
- Everyone who retweeted this message before April 30th will be in the running to win a Cambridge Soundworks i765.
It's as simple as retweeting this message every day and watching @dimdim on Twitter for updates and winners. These prizes are for helping us spread the message, not for voting (but if you love Dimdim, vote for us!)
Thanks for your support!

Sadly, some good things come to an end. Our offer to extend Diggnation fan Dimdim Pro accounts with 3 free months has ended, but our IPod Touch giveaway has been extended another two weeks. For every 100 Diggs to the story First it was free web conferencing, now it's free iTouches! we're giving away an iPod Touch (4 given away so far).
Two weeks left, signup for Dimdim and Digg the story -- the more Diggs, the more chances to win a free iPod Touch!
We're huge Diggnation fans and glad you stopped by. If you're new to Dimdim, jump over to learn more at What is Dimdim? Or just sign up to get started.
p.s. Dimdim has been nominated for the Webware 100. Please help us share web conferencing with everyone and vote for Dimdim!
