Tech Tip:  Join.Me Is The Next Best Thing To Being There!Join.me

Once upon a time you need to be a real technical guru to pull off some of the tasks we now take for granted.  Once upon a time if you wanted a screen shot, it was literally that, get out your camera and CLICK!  Now there's plenty of screen capture software out there to meet that need.

Now if you're some type of corporate type, Windows Live Meeting or Net Meeting just might be a standard tool, but for your average consumer, those aren't programs we use.

How would you like a program that is really quick, really easy and how about FREE that allowed you to hold an impromptu online meeting? Then you just might want to take a look at Join.Me.  Just type in www.Joinme.com and it'll redirect you to https://join.me .  Join.me is by the same people that bring you LogMeIn software for remote access to your home computer.  Install the basic Join.Me software and put the shortcut on your desktop.  When you're ready to use it, both parties click their shortcut, the sharing party clicks Share and provides the 9 digit code to the other parties and moments later everyone can be looking at the same screen.  Pretty cool!

And what does the basic Join.Me software offer?
Screen Sharing, chat, internet calling, share control and more.  For what most of us do, we're probably not going to need the Pro version.  Obviously performance will be dependent on the quality of all parties Internet connections.

Now how can Join.me help you?  We're betting there's MANY ways we can put this program to use!

  • Work as a team and your partner having trouble with a file?  Have them share their screen with you and you can see what they see and solve the problem no matter where you are.
  • Got a client that's out of town so you can't meet in person?  Email them the contract, have them open Join.Me and walk them through it step by step.  No more guessing if you're on the same page of that 20 page packet.
  • Two homeowners and one is on business travel so you can't get a prelist appointment together?  Fire up your iPad or Laptop, and share your presentation to them via Join.Me.  Use the Internet Calling option and it's the next best thing to having them with you!
  • Maybe you've got a friend or family member that's not the most tech savvy and they could use some help?  With this software you could be a few clicks away from uploading a Facebook profile photo for them, initiating a virus scan or any number of other tasks, all while halfway across the country.

So that's our newest Tech Tip.  We hope you like the software and that it can help make your day to day life easier!

Carla, I think we're just starting to scratch the surface of what we can do with this software, and that FREE price is particularly sweet when everyone else wants a piece of our paycheck.

BLiz- very interesting.  I went over to the site and it looks easy to use. I'm bookmarking it until I can figure out how I might use it.

Dorie, I think it's been a busy week for all of us!  I know we haven't been able to be quite as diligent with our Rain time this week.  I'll have to pop over and thank Kathy for the mention :)

BLiz, this is cool, it like when you call tech support on your Mac and the technician asks if you give them permission to get into your screen and control your mouse.

Ellen, We do similar things in my corporate day job when we have a problem.  Sometime the IT guy finds the issue remotely, other times we need someone in person to visit.

Lyn, Lots of potential, especially with Murphy's Law that the contract will show up as soon as the sellers leave for a long weekend and you can't meet in person!

Cheryl, I must have missed Craig's post.  We started using this program at my day job and I loved it and saw the potential for it with real estate work.
