samesurf: surf the same sites together

samesurf: surf the same sites together from same surf on Vimeo.

samesurf instantly enables friends to surf and interact with the same sites at the same time. Whether they choose to lead or follow, users are empowered to follow each other, send messages, and click on links that open as private tabs. The app complements the shared browsing component by integrating private and public messaging, talk, and video chat functionalities into a simple framework that supports cross-platform instant sharing between virtually every browser and platform.

Even though sessions will usually average 5 or less users, samesurf empowers up to 5,000 to populate a single session (or “room”) with larger numbers being reserved for public rooms that match users who share specific interests. samesurf’s differentiating features mark it as a superior alternative to screen sharing applications that:

(1) merely allow a single host to lead, click on links, and shape the direction of the shared experience at any one time;

(2) limit the number of users in a room;

(3) are bandwidth, CPU, and GPU intensive;

(4) require large downloads; and

(5) don’t lend themselves to sharing rich media like videos and streamed content due to frame rate rendering limitations.
