Yuuguu Brings Free Screen Sharing and Web Conferencing to Gmail and Google Talk Users

Yuuguu has announced the seamless integration of the Google Talk Instant Messaging (IM) network into its real-time collaboration and web conferencing service. Yuuguu users can now share screens, hold web conferences and work collaboratively with anyone on the Google Talk IM network all via the Yuuguu application.

The Google Talk IM network is accessible via the downloadable Google Talk client, and the purely browser based GMail, iGoogle and Google Apps services. The move will dramatically increase Yuuguu's reach, with Gmail alone having over 92 million users.

Yuuguu, uniquely for a web conferencing and screen sharing service, has an integrated buddy list and chat system. Yuuguu users can now simply link to their existing Google account and any contacts they have on the Google Talk IM network will automatically appear in their Yuuguu buddy list.

With one click Yuuguu users can chat, share their screen and collaborate in real time with any friends or colleagues on the Google Talk IM network without those people needing any downloads or plug-ins. In addition Yuuguu supports group sessions of Google Talk IM contacts, so several participants can easily join the secure conference or screen share.

Yuuguu does not require participants to download software. Only the host downloads Yuuguu for free onto a PC, Mac or Linux computer. Yuuguu also includes high quality, low cost landline based voice conferencing services for one-to-many voice calls.

The new feature also supports users who access the Google Talk IM network through Google Apps, providing simple and integrated access to free web conferencing for business users.

In addition, Yuuguu has announced that it is now out of beta. The company has over 100,000 users worldwide who have been instrumental in providing feedback on the service to improve user experience and help provide a strong launchpad for its Pro and Enterprise versions in early 2009.

Users can download Yuuguu free of charge at the company's website.
