I have used LogMeIn Rescue for the last month or two and it's in a league of it's own. The only problem is the monthly licence fee which is prohibitive for an individual. Perhaps a competitor for CrossLoop is PCMagical.com - they have combined LogMeIn rescue with PayPal payments in a very similar way. I'll keep my eye on both companies over the next few months.

TECH CRUNCH ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN FEATURING HUGE COMPANIES THAT IRONICALLY DONT REALLY NEED THE EXPOSURE. But what about the small companies doing amazing things in the software space, dont they deserve a break? Ultimately tech crunch is marketed (rarther misleadingly) as a blog for tech start ups.

Tech crunch seems to be only interested in reviewing multi-million dollar venture capital-backed companies. My company has recently launched a revolutionary p2p product, we have sent numerous requests to tech crunch in order to have the product reviewed ALL EMAILS HAVE BEEN IGNORED. Yet every day I visit tech crunch and read another lame story about another multi million dollar aquisition. Umm, thats strange, only huge companies are given any kind of coverage. Could this be to do with the fact that tech crunch ARE PROBABLY BEING PAID TO REVIEW SITES OF THIS NATURE. WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO WAKE UP AND REALISE THAT TECH CRUNCH INTERESTS LAY NOT IN HIGHLIGHTING NEW INNOVATIONS IN THE TECHNOLOGY MARKET PLACE, BUT RATHER IN LINING THEIR OWN POCKETS!!

Someone will put out an open-source clone, and then it's game over. This is the kind of thing that would really work in an open-source model, and work well for Linux distributions due to the learning curve. In fact, this could be in the "in-OS" support system that distros like Ubuntu are looking for. If it’s good, no patent can save them.

Given the fact that Crossloop is free reflects its limitations in terms of functionality, and therefore it is not a great service for commercial use. At the same point in time, most of the other services such as LogMeIn and Teamviewer are very high-priced for most small businesses such as mine. I'm currently using Techinline (www.techinline.com) which is probably the cheapest remote support tool on the market and is the easiest to use since nobody has to install anything on either end. All your client has to do is open a page in their browser, get a number and once you type in the number on your end, that's the remote connection.
