Product Description
Yuuguu lets you instantly share your computer screen in real-time with anyone, anywhere—for free. It lets you interact with colleagues, friends and customers as though they’re sitting right next to you, even though you’re apart. But it’s even more than that—by integrating community, messaging and collaboration in a whole new, and more natural way, Yuuguu aims to make real-time screen sharing as ubiquitous as instant messaging.
Market Opportunity
Gartner estimates that the market for Web conferencing/screen sharing is currently worth $1 billion per annum and growing, despite only a small penetration of these services into the knowledge worker community to date (WebEx estimates less than 1% penetration).
DEMO Says
We’ve done enough conference calls and online demos to claim some expertise in this market, and we’ve never seen anything as fast or simple as Yuuguu. Built on a Skype-like metaphor, Yuuguu maintains a very small software footprint for the sender and little or no overhead for the receiver. Yuuguu is the perfect tool for ad hoc screen collaborations, and may well open the screen share concept to consumer applications.
