Mikogo, a free online meeting and screen sharing application has seen an increase of over fifty percent in less than four months, indicating a shift towards free online meeting and collaboration tools. Having reached a user base of more than 40,000 users, the success of Mikogo’s free online meeting solution could indicate that free Web collaboration is rapidly on the rise. This of course raises questions for the future of alternative high priced video conferencing solutions.

Web conferences, online meetings and other online collaboration tools are valuable assets to many individuals and small businesses. However the cost of these applications and services often prevent usage by many who would truly benefit from the technology. With Mikogo’s free online meeting solution, with all included features at no cost and with no time limitations, the web collaboration community has taken notice. Mikogo has users spread across more than 100 countries and serves up to 2,000 free online meetings a day.

Mikogo Co-founder, Mark Zondler:

We are happy to provide Mikogo free of charge and allow everyone to benefit from an easy-to-use screen sharing tool. Our users are able to employ Mikogo for teaching, IT support, picture sharing, university projects, club meetings, and more. Everyday people across the world are finding more and more reasons to use Mikogo free online meetings.

It seems clear that Mikogo has made it’s mark and found it’s place in the free online collaboration community. With a rapidly growing userbase of over 40,000 users under the belt, Mikogo expects that the current fee-based web conferencing services are going to have to pick up their game to stay competitive.
