Crossloop: Remote Desktop for everyone.
There are other applications that will let you connect to another PC over ther internet like LogmeIn or VNC. But neither is as easy to use as Crossloop. Normally, remote desktop applications require that the host PC to run a server which can be complicated to set up, not so with Crossloop. The person needing assistance just installs crossloop and runs the main application, then goes to share, and gives the access code to whoever is helping them. That person then enters access code and all the difficult stuff is handled by the Crossloop server.
Crossloop recently created a social network, connecting people who have problems with people who want to fix them. You can even build up expertise, a type of karma system that reflects on how effective you are.

Yikes. Is it just me or is the idea of granting access to someone you found on a social network a little scary?

Logmein is actually even simpler than this. Download the server and you're done. Then log into your computer from any computer with a webbrowser from Logmein.com. No ports to configure. No client software to download. I've yet to find anything easier.

Robert - a BIG thanks from a small team at CrossLoop for bringing us to your readers.
Just a quick clarification - there is no connecting with an unknown person on CrossLoop. There are social elements like profile (first ever dynamic profile that updates with each session), widgets, comments (testimonials) of clients on profiles after a session etc. but no network to add friends etc.
Only people who know each other use CrossLoop to help someone - friends/ family, employees or customers.
Please feel free to contact me if you or your readers have any questions.
Have a wonderful 2008!
