Awesome Web Sharing Tool
There are many tools on the Internet that allow you to share your desktop remotely with someone else that's online.
Many of them make you install special software as the host and also requires the computers remotely sharing your screen to do so as well.
If you aren't paying attention, some of the tools can also allow the people sharing the connection to see things you didn't intended to share.
For an option that’s really easy to use, does not require you or the person on the other end to install special software and limits sharing to just websites, checkout Surfly.
It’s a great tool for demos, helping your friends and family or sharing web-based content with a small group.
The hosts mouse pointer appears with a red glow around it and those viewing can’t click on anything, so you have complete control.
It doesn't allow the sharing of video content, but when it comes to helping non-technical users with basic website related questions, it’s a pretty handy tool.
Just setup your free account and create a special link to the site you want to share and email it to your viewers. They don’t have to sign up for anything, they just click on the link you send and viola, they see you’re what's in your browser!
Give it a try at Surfly.com, that’s S U R F L Y.com
