The pair started working on their idea for screen sharing software after becoming frustrated with the difficulties of working remotely. Keen to make the service accessible for small businesses, they decided to offer the software for free, following in the footsteps of previous web successes such as Skype. The beta version of the software launched in February 2007. Within a few weeks, the software was being used all over the world, and picking up numerous technology accolades. Revenue is generated by charging for extra applications such as voice and messaging functions.
