Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
Share your screen easily, and for free, with Adobe Creative Suite 4
I noticed this function a while ago when I upgraded to Photoshop CS4 -- I never dared use it, but I did notice it!
Now there's a handy little video from Adobe that shows you exactly how to enable the free screen sharing available to you in their latest suite of tools.
You're probably thinking: Neat! But what can I actually do with it? The first thing that comes to my mind is for businesses that are using an external graphic designer -- want to see their current progress on some work? Want to make sure they're sticking to the draft? Use the screen sharing!
You could also use it for collaboration -- there is chat and video conferencing functionality included. You could suggest changes and watch them occur in real time. I can just see it now... 'No, no, move it a bit to the left. That's it! Up a bit! How about if you make it luminous pink? And the font slightly more interesting... how about Comic Sans?'

I've never used it before and I doubt I'll ever will. You're spot on with your 'how about Comic Sans?' :-)
It reminded me of http://makemylogobiggercream.com/

My personal favourite is being told that the colours are 'all wrong', after the draft has been approved.
Or the classic anything-less-than-white-and-black-is-not-visible-enough (generally from older clients with failing eyes...) -- though that's probably a valid request.

Ahhh Comic Sans,.. the bain of all (legitimate) graphic designers out there. Here's a great comic strip that all my fellow graphic designers will appreciate.

Sure, but you can't edit photos with Skype...
Oh wait, I think I missed the point...

Interesting. Anyone else getting AIR errors on the 1 minute video? Pretty amusing that Adobe can't even keep it's Flex content up to date :p

Hah. It is only 1:18 long though... are you reaching the end?
No errors here, and I think AIR updated itself a few days ago.
