Perfecting Collaboration: Mikogo Launches Free Screen Sharing Skype Extra

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 19, 2008 -- Mannheim, GERMANY September 19, 2008 – The world’s free online meeting tool, Mikogo (http://www.mikogo.com) announces its successful partnership to Skype with the launch of the Mikogo Skype Extra, creating the complete solution to free Web conferences. A simple download, with no installations and at no cost, now allows Skype users to collaborate with their contacts via four forms of communication: voice, chat, video, and now screen sharing.

“Regardless of whether it’s for business or private purposes, Skype users now have the complete Web conferencing package without paying a cent,” says Mark Zondler, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “Free screen sharing combined seamlessly with Skype’s free calls, free chat, and free video, really give the Mikogo Skype Extra users the perfect means of Web collaboration.”

While expensive conferencing solutions have satisfied the corporate bodies, the price tag has put them well out of reach for private users. With this in mind, award winning Web collaboration provider, BeamYourScreen, developed Mikogo as a free screen sharing solution. With Mikogo, users can host professional online meetings allowing them to collaborate easily with colleagues, clients, friends or family, while saving time and reducing costs.

It’s easy to understand that anyone operating on a tight budget, such as small emerging businesses or private users, are unable and unwilling to pay hundreds of dollars a year for a conferencing solution. Especially when voice conferencing can require additional costs, and it is here where the Mikogo Skype Extra will shine.

“Our users are able to employ Mikogo and the Skype Extra for consultations, teaching, IT support, picture sharing, university projects, club meetings, and more,” continues Zondler. “They can start a free Mikogo online meeting and invite up to 10 of their Skype contacts to view their screen at no cost.”

Organizing or joining a free Mikogo Skype online meeting is a simple straight-forward process with no registrations, installations, or configurations. Such an easy-to-start application in addition to its user-friendly interface again gives Mikogo that crucial edge over competitor Skype Extras.

The addition of Mikogo’s free screen sharing to Skype could in fact impact on the way people and businesses worldwide go about their correspondence and Internet collaboration in the future. By eliminating travel costs and saving time for its users, Mikogo’s presence will no doubt be felt.
