A Blog For Geeks

If you’re already a fan of LogMeIn’s outstanding remote access service, you may be interested in knowing that they just recently launched a new join.me service. What makes join.me different, you might ask? Well, it’s a free service for screen sharing and online conferences. No registration is required to use it. I find it great for helping friends when they need my help over the internet. Just have them surf on over to join.me, click on the “share” link, and they will start downloading join.me, which is only around one megabyte in size. No installation is required. As soon as they open the download, they will be given a code that you can use to see their screen. You can then request to remote control their computer. Their is no download required for the viewing side. I personally was using Google Chrome when I first tried it out, and it worked great. While there are plenty of other tools that get the job done (i.e. CrossLoop, TeamViewer, Zolved, Skyfex), join.me in my opinion is the quickest and easiest to set up. Try it today!
