After photos and video sharing. it's now the turn of screen fisharing 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 profLIe online, which others can access and hence could get back to you.

Cross loop uses the plug-in of the popularremotecontrol package, Tight VNC to provide screen sharing. All data that is transferred between two machines is encrypted using 128bit Blowfish symmetric encryption algorithm. It also supports me 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.
