Online Collaboration Tools

Sugarbox is a free web app which allows you to share any web app you are working on with anyone you wish to collaborate with.

To use it, you simply go to the web app, open it and then click on the Sugarbox bookmarklet, and you are ready to invite anyone to co-work with you, in real-time, on that app.

Once you are collaborating with someone you can see their cursor and their name in real time. You can text chat and annotate the screen.

A unique feature also allows you to easily record what's being shown on the screen, including your cursor movements, and can be easily shared with anyone. 

My comment: Excellent resource if you want to collaborate in real-time with someone else on the same app. 

Free to use.

ScreenHero is a downloadable app for Windows and Mac computers that allows you to collaborate one-on-one on the same app with someone else at a distance.

ScreenHero has recently added full support for Windows PCs and it now integrates a voice feature allowing you also to talk with the person you are collaborating with.

Your login credentials and session data are fully encrypted using a P2P TLS scheme (SSL based).

ScreenHero operates as a P2P app, allowing parties to hook up directly to one another, and resorting to its centralized servers only when a direct connection is not possible for some reason.

My comment: An excellent screen-sharing tool for distributed teams. If you regularly operate with someone else at a distance and you need to easily and reliably share screens to see and edit drafts, mock-ups, presentations or code, ScreenHero is a great resource.

N.B.: If you are on a PC you will need a recent version of Windows, as PCs with Vista and earlier Windows versions are not supported.

Free version available.
