It´s not one of those many solutions popping up every day, where you have to be afraid your data might be highjacked by a third party. TeamViewer is one of the "settled" software tools and offers a great and easy solution for connecting to one or more PCs at a time. Its also for free and has some nice features but remains very easy to use!

It's either been "pay $100 to GoToMyPC" or figure out VNC and get the opposition to do things (Firewalls, settings, etc.) that are tougher than the problem itself! CrossLoop challenges that and what I loved about it is that it just worked -- no strings attached. Of course, there are a lot of reasons for using a service like this other than customer support. You could be use it to demo a product to a potential client or give a Photoshop tutorial. Or, for those fun times, just test it to see each others' desktops and play around with it.

I thought just the opposite. That is the easiest setup ever. It bypasses routers and firewalls. No other screen sharing I have ever tried does that. Other than computer support, some people use service like this for collaboration of some types (businesses when they only have one copy of software etc.). We have used it in the past (me and other writers) when we were having trouble getting some software working like we wanted but couldn't explain what was happening. Brandon Overly complicated?

I tried it and it worked very easily. Unfortunately, the dial up connection on my friend's computer could not handle the stream (not surprising). In other news, it seems this service was originally offered as "HelpOnMyPC" http://www.helponmypc.com/ Are there web 2.0 reasons for screen sharing other than computer support?
