Yugma, a new enterprise killer app
Yugma is an online conference tool enabling desktop sharing, video conferencing and chat among a group. The free version enables a group of 10 people to communicate, the “Premium” version up to 50. This service is one another brick in the “Office 2.0″ house. It is to Office 2.0 what Netmeeting is to Office 1.0 :-). Yet another acquisition in the radar screen for Google :-).
Yugma is usable, and will be probably the tool many professionals will use to organise meeting and collaborative sessions.
On top of the “new competitor to Microsoft in the Office 2.0 space”, there’s an interesting point: Yugma is applet based. Of course we could say it is “old fashionned”, and that not so many companies authorized Java applets. But for me this use of an applet in a so trendy & working app is a proof that thanks to the Web 2.0 wave, Java applets, Java Webstarted or Flash based applications will be more and more common. No, Web 2.0 will not be 100% Javascript based. Good news for development costs
