New Update

After photos and video sharing, it's now the turn of screen sharing on social

networks. That essentially sums up what CrossLoop does. All you require is the

CrossLoop application at all desktops that need to share each others' screens.

Using this app, you can ask for help from other Crossloop users and if you want

to use your expertise to help others with their problems, then you can create

your credentials profile online, which others can access and hence could get

back to you.

Crossloop uses the plug-in of the popular remote control package, Tight VNC

to provide screen sharing. All data that is transferred between two machines is

encrypted using 128-bit Blowfish symmetric encryption algorithm. It also

supports file transfers between two machines and you can even switch controls.

The only drawback of the application is that it's only available for Windows. We

installed it on two different machines running Windows Vista and Windows XP

respectively. Both machines were residing on two separate networks. Installation

was simple. Once installed the software generates a unique access code, which is

required by other users with whom you want to share your screen. This code just

ensures that you share your screen with known users only. When we shared screen

with the remote machine, we found the performance to be just fine.

Bottomline: A decent screen sharing solution and

the fact that you need not to spend money to use it is a plus
