SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Glance Networks, Inc., creator of
the simplest desktop sharing tool on the market, today debuted a new
lightweight Remote Control feature for Macs. Now Mac users can remotely share
their mouse and keyboard with other Glance Web conference participants to
quickly demonstrate software, co-edit documents, collaborate on designs, and
provide remote training -- in realtime over the Web.
    "Last year at MacWorld, Glance brought screen sharing to the overlooked
Mac audience, giving them access to the productivity advantages PC users had
enjoyed for years," said Rich Baker, founder and CEO of Glance Networks.
"We're proud to bridge that gap once again with this unique tool that lets any
Mac host transition control to a guest with ease. The Remote Control feature
is designed with the same simplicity we've become known for -- and we remain
dedicated to making Web conferencing as easy as clicking a button."
    Glance is the industry's only fully cross-platform tool that allows for
seamless transitions between multiple operating systems and transforms any
session into a collaborative experience. With the new Remote Control feature,
a Glance host can instantly share control with guests at any time -- on a Mac
or a PC. The host instantly regains control by just moving his or her mouse.
To let a guest take back control, the host simply pauses.
    "As an architect and graphic designer for over 40 years, I've found that
Glance Networks' screen sharing tool makes client communication that much more
effective," said Kelly Brandon, founder of Kelly Brandon Design. "I like to
work closely with my clients while preparing progress drawings and Glance's
Remote Control feature eliminates the need for meetings, saves time, is simple
to use, and is carbon friendly. It's a win-win for everyone."
    Unlike other Web demo tools, Glance is browser-based and requires no guest
download, so it sets up quickly and reliably every time -- no technical
knowledge required. Thousands of customers worldwide think Glance's simple
interface makes it an ideal sales tool for web demos and presentations. Its
software-as-a-service model offers all of these new enhancements to
subscribers for free. Glance is available at http://www.glance.net, where
users can sign up for a free trial.
    MacWorld attendees can see a demo of Glance's new Remote Control feature
at Booth # S-2043.
