Google Chrome Releases Remote Control Extension
For web meetings and technical support, there is nothing more useful that screen sharing and remote desktop control. Back in "the day", we used pre-installed applications like pcAnywhere and VNC... software that had to be pre-setup and configured and quite often, left security holes. Then came the SAAS (Software-As-A-Service) model used by GoToMyPC, WebEx and LogMeIn. This types of service is usually costly and charged by the monthly. One of my favorites out there now is TeamViewer. This is a commercial software, costs about $800, but can be used personally for free. So now, with extensions coming into play, we may be able to use a quick, easy to install, free extension, loaded in our web browsers and muilti-platform friendly. Next stop... remote control of your smartphone!
