One problem that occurs frequently when developing projects remotely or training remote users is that one usually needs to have a custom application that both sides can use (Net Meeting) for example. Now comes a website, Vyew that offers real-time collaboration with remote access and the only requirement is to have a recent browser version with Java 1.4 and Flash 8. That’s it. I set up a sample meeting and did a short presentation using a notepad and a conference call over Skype. It worked wonderfully The only feature that doesn’t work so well currently is real time desktop sharing but it will be developed further. And the cost? Currently, it’s free although no promises are made about what the business model will be in the future. However they do say
If you sign up now, we will provide the registered user’s features to you for at least two (2) years.
I believe it’s really worth a try.
Hi Paul,
Thanks for your post on Vyew. Just wanted to send you a quick note that we will be releasing a version 2.0 within the next month. This will have a completely redesigned UI and a host of new features.

Hi Paul,
Thank you for posting on Vyew.com a while ago. As you may know, Vyew 2.0 is going to be released in mid-July.
Our up coming release 2.0 has some unique and very useful new features. For example, it can support multiple VyewBooks. These VyewBooks which can be divided by customers, projects, interest, and more can be saved and open. Additionally, you can now mix and match pages from various file types or layered them together inside the same VyewPage which makes Vyew even more powerful in a collaborative environment.
We can provide you a sneak preview of this new version should you be interested. Please email me at reza@vyew.com and I will be glad to send you the URL.
Sincerely,
Reza Gosal
