REMOTE ACCESS SERVICES
1. Citrix Online LLC offers 3 services that is really out of this world. It is something that I know I would need to use in the near future. Here they are: (i) GoToMyPC - Get Secure Remote Access with this service. This is a fast, easy and secure way to access your PC from any Web Browser or wireless device in real time. This service effectively eliminates any excuse from not being able to work from anywhere, as long as you have internet access. (ii) GoToWebinar - Enable individuals and organizations to present online to larger audiences, generate detailed feedback from these audiences and follow up with interested audience members. (iii) GoToMeeting - Conduct Online Meetings easily, anytime, anywhere. You can use this service to demonstrate and meet all you want.
SCREEN CAPTURE TOOLS
1. JingProject - An always ready program that captures and shares images and video from your computer to anywhere. They provide Video recording tools for you to use and free space for you to host those videos or screen captures. At the moment it is in Beta stage and eventually, I feel they will charge you for the hosting of the files. The advantage is that the screen capturing software is provided to you for free. This is a project by TechSmith that brings to you Snagit, Camtasia Studio, Morae, Uservue and Screencast file hosting service.
