Oneeko

Here's a nice, simple tool for online demos, training and support. Like WebEx and others, it lets you share applications on your desktop with anyone else who has access to the internet. Unlike these tools, no special software is required at the recipient end - except for Flash, which runs on 98% of computers.

On the publisher side, Oneeko runs as an application. The program acts as a transparent rectangle or lens that you can drag around your desktop. Anything within the frame is published out to your viewer.

Your viewer can access your shared screen in a three ways:

1. You can direct them to the Oneeko site where they use your account name to load the session.
2. You can email a link that is generated from the software.
   
3. From Skype, Oneeko creates and sends a special Skype instant message to the person you are speaking with. (I had to upgrade to the latest version of Skype for this to work)

The great thing is that at the viewer's end, your desktop displays in their browser. There's no software to install, no security settings to worry about. This is the perfect little tool for ad-hoc sharing where you want to show something to illustrate a conversation you're having.

Thanks to Josef for pointing out this great little tool.
