Last week, Take Control Books editor-in-chief Tonya Engst and I were putting the finishing touches on an upgrade to my "Take Control of Customizing Leopard" ebook, ... when Tonya had a sudden idea. Instead of our normal routine of her emailing me the Microsoft Word file, my editing it, and then my having to mail it back to her, why not use iChat's new screen sharing feature? All we needed, after all, was to fix a few verbal fine points here and there.

Screen sharing can be useful anytime you want to work with a person remotely on the same project. You can surf the web together to do some shopping, edit photos together, or really anything at all.

A bonus feature of iChat screen sharing is that the audio is turned on so you and the person you are working with can discuss your project as well as both seeing the same screen.
