#2Cool, but I couldn't close the java 'ScreenLeap' dialog without using chrome's task manager to kill the java plugin.
(I'm running Ubuntu 11.10, and chrome 16.0 if that helps)
Also, I feel "No downloads, installs" is a little disingenuous - just because it's not installed as a full-time application doesn't mean that it's not downloaded or installed.

#3Wow, this is effortless and works well, just like Dropbox. Nice job.

Thanks for the feedback. Point taken on the "no downloads or installs". We wanted to convey how easy it is for someone to view your screen but I can see that it doesn't accurately describe the process for sharing your screen. We'll work to improve the messaging.

#5My boss works in a different city, and we're on the phone all the time. The simplicity of this is priceless. I especially appreciate that the viewing side requires no setup. That makes it much preferable to WebEx or Skype when I'm dealing with less tech-savvy folks.

#7Join.me has been my goto replacement for webex.
This operates exactly like join.me - however I like join.me's shorter URLs - I would suggest copying a format similar to theirs.
However I really like the "share whats in the rectangle" feature.

You'd like join.me as well.

#9Just tried it. Works pretty well. I especially like the share rectangle region feature.
I have been using https://join.me/ since it allows me to control the other person's screen as well. The setup is just as simple but it requires you to run a downloaded file.

#10Does it allow me to only share a specific applications? I don't want to show everybody my email and other stuff.
