CrossLoop gets techie help to friends

CrossLoop allows the tech-savvy (you, or an expert) to help out the non-savvy (you or friend and often older family member) via direct control of their computers. 

To use, both you and the person you are helping must go to www.crossloop.com and download the software. The sessions require both parties to be in attendance (to avoid renegade remote control of a computer).

This seems like an intriguing way to connect the 1-in-100 techie with the other 99.

Mark,
Thanks for your post.

Would you also be interested in testing another free tool like TeamViewer (http://www.teamviewer.com)?
TeamViewer is really easy screen sharing without the need to take care about any obstacles (NAT, proxies, dynamic IPs) combined with a userfriendly interface. Plenty of features are included and TeamViewer works cross-plattform (Win+Mac).

I'm looking forward to hear your opinion on that!

Regards,
Constantin
