Mikogo: Cross Platform Screen Sharing Tool
Mikogo is another cross platform tool that you can use to organize online meetings. The tool is available for Windows platform and Mac OS-X platform. Being new to the business, the Mac platform still lacks some features that are originally available to PC version. That being said, both platform users can access the essential tools needed to be productive in their online collaboration.
The tool is very lightweight and easy to configure. Just sign up for an account, download the Mikogo client, and you can immediately begin sharing your screen to your associates. This is great for online presentations, tutorials and cross platform troubleshooting.

The software is not perfect and there are some usability issues that I’ve encountered. Some parts of the interface could use some improvements but they’re just to my preference and nothing too major. The important thing is that it works, it’s lightweight, useful and free.
*Mikogo can also be used with Skype through the Mikogo Skype Extra.You can learn more about this on their website.
