You know those links that help you share your web site with someone easily through Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites? AddThis (http://www.addthis.com) is a tool that mak es it very easy to post that link on your site or hosted blog. (By hosted blog, I mean one that is not hosted at WordPress.com).
I won’t get into the setup because it depends on where you want to add it (a web site, Blogger, WordPress…) and they give excellent instructions. I tried it on WordPress and Blogger without any hassles.
Last week I needed a tool that would let me and a client view the same computer screen remotely. I found a great tool using the Blandin Toolkit: http://broadband.blandinfoundation.org/toolkit/applications.php
CrossLoop http://www.crossloop.com turned out to be exactly what I needed. My client and I each downloaded the software. It was free and easy. Because we each had the software downloaded either of us could share the view of our desktop. One of us just needed to share our unique code with the other. (The code changes per session.) Once I got her code, I entered it into the software. She got a message saying I was looking to connect with her. She approved my access with a click and then I could see her screen. It would be the perfect solution for a one-to-one demo or tech support.
