I have been using https://join.me/ and pretty happy with it.

How is this different from https://join.me/?

For join.me, you need to have Flash installed to view someone's screen. Screenleap allows you to view from any device with a web browser, whether it be a PC, tablet, or smartphone. In the same way that you don't worry about what email program someone is on before sending them an email, we want to make it so you don't have to worry about what device a person is on before showing them your screen.
How do you plan to compete with LogMeIn once they have an HTML viewer? Which they either already have or will have and very soon.
Join.me does have an iPad and iPhone app... but this is a lot easier.
In the documentation, I didn't see where I can give control of the screen. That's a difference. But it's a good feature to have.
join.me does not support Linux.
