Looking for a free online collaboration tool? Communication is essential for all of us to keep updated on the events of the world. Whether it is finding out about the latest exploits of your friend or what your old college buddy is up to, emails aren’t always the best means of communicating with them. Finding alternative ways to get in touch with family and friends is a daily task for some internet users.

Skype, MSN Messenger, AIM, and other chat applications can be user friendly, but also very limited. Being able to extend the use of these applications to perform as an all in one tool for business and pleasure would be great.

That’s where Yakkle comes in handy. Not only is it an all in one communication tool, but it actually works well. This marvelous application combines voice, instant messaging and desktop sharing into one usable platform. Not only can you get use our of it as a personal tool, but using it for business is also a great feature. Some applications only partially work well and skimp on other features. Yakkle has managed to bring it all together in a well functioning package.

Users can conduct an online meeting with sacrificing their professional image. Sharing files and desktops can be done easily without a complicated setup process. I have attended many virtual meetings that had to be canceled or rescheduled because of malfunctioning software. Yakkle works similar to many familiar instant messaging tools that are currently available. If you are able to use AIM, or Yahoo Chat, then you will definitely be able to use Yakkle.

Managing multiple contacts won’t be a problem with Yakkle. It looks and operates just like other instant messaging programs. You will be able to organize them into groups and monitor everyone’s status with ease. Chatting with multiple users at the same time won’t turn into a confusing mess because your contacts will be grouped in an orderly fashion. Using headphones along with the voice capability of the Yakkle program will improve the sound quality. It will help to prevent unnecessary echo in the background.

Sharing your desktop with others is a neat idea when conducting a long distance business meeting. Instead of passing emails back and forth, you will be able to save valuable time. Get instant feedback about presentations and documents that need changes. Before concluding your business meeting, you will have everything updated. Users have a choice of sharing their entire desktop or a certain region of it. Getting started with the desktop sharing feature will only take a few seconds to set up and run.

The best overall feature of Yakkle is that it is free. You will not have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to use it. Just simply install the program on your Windows XP or Vista computer to begin “Yakkling”. Yakkle is a fun and useful program that can be used by business or non-business users. Not only is it easy to install, but it will conveniently fulfill your communication needs in one tool.
