I clicked on a button, waited for a few second, and could see the desktop of a friend in another city. I was kind off embarrassed when someone tried to see my desktop because I had a few "personal" pictures open that I didn't want the other person to see. (oops...). So yes, it works. And yes, be careful on what you have open on your desktop before you share it with others. I just tried the peer-to-peer desktop sharing.

Does this mean I can see the powerpoint presentation of my friends in another city? That will be totally cool. Does this mean I now longer have to pay money monthly to webex? I plan on keeping a close watch on damaka. It's great to see an underdog with a pioneering technology and rooting for them to grow. Go SIP players go!

Does anyone else having the similar experience and any clue why?? For some reason, I am finding that file transfer happens about 4-5 x faster on damaka than applications like yahoo or msn etc….

(Skype's quality has been going down since the eBay-Skyle deal). GTalk looks like a dev project that Google just decided to throw out there for whatever reason. I was expecting Google to be more thorough. Skype definitely still leaps and bound ahead of both GTalk and damaka, but I am sure damaka will catch up in due time. Their direct peering model (as suggested by the PODCast on their website - <a href="http://www.damaka.com)" rel="nofollow">http://www.damaka.com)</a> does look better than Skype model. Specially with all the buzz over enterprise ban of Skype, damaka has everything to gain. I love the features and I would recommend it to everyone.

I'm an attorney and use IM almost daily with a lot of my clients. Most are still using AIM, Yahoo IM or MSN IM at work. I have not yet had one client who has given me a Skype address for IM. Another thing worth noting. Many IM systems do not provide a lot of confidentiality. I use AIM through Trillian which does encrypt the communication. I suspect Skype probably does the same.

Otherwise, how are you supposed to collaborate further ? Through just e-mail and phone calls? That sounds like a relatively drastic choice to me, I would think, specially since more and more we would all want to have instant access to experts and their information. Unless, of course, there may be other reasons for that decision. Either way, I hope that move is a temporary one.
