Join.Me for Free Remote Screen Sharing

A few weeks ago, I showed you how to send videos to your parents (and others) about how to do simple things on the web, like copy and paste, change your homepage and attach a picture to an email.  But sometimes, my parents have a problem with their computer, that despite all of their efforts to explain it to me, I can't seem to diagnose by phone. 

I have found several options to be able to be able to remotely view their computer screen, but none of them are free, and that fact was holding me back from using them.

Last week, I stumbled upon a tool that is easy to use, web-enabled, and FREE!  It's called Join.me and requires no registration.  The software runs through your web browser and works very well!  The site itself is simple, reminds me of Bing.

To begin, the person who needs help clicks the orange "Share" button and receives a number on the top of their screen. You type that number on the Join.me site in the green section, and you are connected. It's just that easy!  And your mom and dad will be forever thankful to you for fixing their computer!

Try Join.me today, and let me know how it works for you.  Do you know of any other free remote sharing applications?
