If you're in Shanghai working on a collaborative project with a friend, but they are in Peoria, you might encounter some difficulties. This application offers a bit of a novel twist to screen sharing, and it's quite intuitive in its interface. After downloading the application, users will note that the screen sharing appears as a type of "looking-glass". The majority of the window space is dedicated to a transparent pane, in order to create a type of shared space where both users can see into the shared space. Visitors will need to register on the website to use this application, and a paid version is also available. This version of Oneeko is compatible with computers running Windows XP and newer. [KMG]

As of late, Google has been adding a number of compelling new gadgets for use with Google Desktop. They recently released the Google Reader, which is designed to help users keep track of their various RSS feeds. It's a pretty basic RSS reader, and some might quibble with the lack of embedded images and such, but it is easy to use and navigate for those with Google Desktop. This version is compatible with all operating systems, and users will need to have Google Desktop 5 and newer installed. [KMG]
Last week the Scout Report featured the Introduction to Gaming 2009 website. Some of our readers experienced problems with the link and we have since discovered that, in error, we published the URL for the site's Atom feed instead of the main URL for their site. Not all clients or environments are set up to handle these feed URLs and that is why some of our readers experienced difficulties with the website. The link above will take readers to the main URL and should alleviate these issues. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our readers and thank those of you who let us know about the issue. [CMH]
