I came across this the other day. Looks like it might be a great tool for forums such as these. Any thoughts pro or con?
Spy X
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10652
Spy allows you to run a small server on your Mac, that when accessed by any normal web browser, allows people to see your screen, as well as information about your Macintosh. But it doesn't stop there - they can look at a normal static image, or they can look at your screen, live, in real-time! You can also choose which image format you want to use - JPEG or PNG. Not only that, but the user can choose what picture quality they want by manually specifying their desired quality and scale in the picture.jpg or picture.png request! Other features include 2 built-in layouts and custom layout support, and a Live Connection manager that lets you see everyone that is viewing your desktop live as well as disconnect any of those users.

Why would you want others to see your screen?

I think it's a good idea... like with helping out a relative or something like that.

or to be able to show a techie the exact problem you're having in hopes they'll find a solution more easily.

Or when my buddy Adam Iser sticks a new feature in Adium, he uses it to show me screens, and keep me updated.

yeah, it's kinda fun running spy. sometimes i put the link on my iChat away message, so people can see what i'm doing if i'm too busy to chat.
plus, you hear a little camera shutter sound when anyone takes a screenshot, so you kinda know if someone is watching.

I've been using it since Jaguar came out. It's nice to show off features to my PC-using friends.
