Is this VAPORware because the "signup" link/download link sends email saying it wont be available for "days/weeks".... However, it is a nice glowing review Stuart.

Being in a continuous need for desktop sharing and collaborative workspaces for small teams, I was very curious to go and try Verosee.

We tried LiveMeeting & Breeze in the past, but really wanted something that integrates well with Skype.

So here comes Verosee. Vamos Argentina :)

Btw, I'll prefer to test in on a desktop, as the Java loading is quite heavy for a already stuffed laptop. The installation also takes too long.

Hello Skype-fans. We beseeched you all (quite politely, I might add) to please not use free mail. We are working day and night to send out the links to you all -- even the Irish Spaniels are lending a paw.

I've tried Verosee, my opinion is it requires ALOT of work to be considered even a BETA product. I'll also add that it appears they are CHARGING for the beta as the "free" does not seem to be working.

The comments here seems inconsistent. After "Googling" each of the respondents, it seems that Mr. Elder does not one reference. This leads me to believe that he has no domain expertise whatsoever -- perhaps some of us prospective Beta Testers feel somewhat "insecure?"

The product is currently in BETA and is in such a poor state that the program can't even start! (They should call it a pre-alpha version instead)

Don't waste your time downloading and installing the ~100MB program! At least, wait some time till they get ready with a new version.

Finally got Verosee up and running last night. Seems to be very early days for this product, it has some Groove-like features like chat and file sharing but not much else available now. Really useful services like screen sharing and offline access are extra-cost addins (quite expensive too) and aren't available yet.

The install is very bloated, because Verosee is loading down a complete Java runtime environment. This doesn't make sense since you need to have Java installed to begin with before installing Verosee in order to use "Web Start".

An embarassing glitch in the copy I loaded last night is that whenever you invite someone to a workspace, it prefixes "I love you" to the invitation! Reminds me of the "I love you" virus from 2001.

Bill thanks for your comments. I agree that the install feels bloated. The understanding I had was that the complete envirnoment is required so Verosee can go cross platform. Something for example that Groove doesn't do.

I think your comments on pricing will be most useful to the Verosee team.

I also know it still needs work. It remains worth looking at.

I love this idea "Verosee", applaud the efforts, and look forward to stability and reasonable pricing. The application is on my productivity machine and I have not deleted it. This means I will be watching and participating. I will retract for my comment regarding charging for the free version, however, must rephrase and state that it was not obvious how to go about using the free version. After more playing more, a simple double-click (unintuitive in a web application) and things became more apparent.

Beta = welcome the critiques they are intended to help. It also means know very well the users have never touched the product and will have some raw (read unrefined) experiences.

I will agree with Mr. Wood, it was very embarrassing to invite some of my colleagues and see emails go out with “I love you" as the opening line.

I dont need reference to be real Mr. Bentley, so please keep personal jibes to one self. You do not know who I am therefore have not earned the right to make comment.

Cheers,

Yea, I didn't like the whole "I love you" opening line.... got some gay jokes at work. Can't have insubordination!!! Darn it all!

Why I (tried to) uninstall Verosee. Beware !! Verosee not only tries to spam your contact list but it is almost impossible to uninstall. After 3 attempts and 2 restarts I still cannot get rid of this pest. It uses its own uninstaller which hangs. It will not uninstall if you are not online. I still have hours in front of me to waste in trying to get this thing off my machine.

It's new version Monday, and today's goodies are: DesktopSharing now available, group purchasing enabled, and multiplePCs functional...and yes, a new uninstaller.

Thank you for your feedback, it keeps making Verosee better. Next week, a nice treat with a big reduction of download size.

New Version Monday! The download has been reduced to less than 20 MB -- so now you have no excuse to try our incredible product.
Also, the install no longer hangs and if you want to try the premium services, please let me know at Skype: jasiano and we can discuss the details...

Your feedback made it a priority for us: the Verosee download is now 80% smaller. Thank you.

I downloaded it and it didn't work when I installed it. A waste of time if it won't even startup, what's the point..
