Any software so your friends can view your desktop from their computer?

I saw on TechTV that FireFox has some sort of add on that lets you see a friends or whoevers desktop realtime. I remember back in the day, Netbus can and probably still does it.

Anyone know that FireFox mod or some other software?

I dont think remote desktop is what you want. It will allow you to take over control of another's computer from yours but they can't do anything while you are in control.

Use a VNC package. http://www.tightvnc.com is what I would recommend.
