I've built shellshare.net because I often want to quickly show someone something on my terminal (a weird error, for example), but using tmux/screen is too involved (SSH keys, firewalls, NATs, ...).
I also found it useful to help debug some issue on a friend's computer. I'd ask them to broadcast their terminal on shellshare.net, and start debugging it passing commands through IM.
It doesn't save the broadcasts (for that, I recommend http://asciinema.org), nor allows multiple people to control the terminal (as screen/tmux), but it fills a niche that, as far as I know, wasn't possible before.
Comments, suggestions, and pull requests are appreciated.
Cool concept... The thing that I think developers will not like about this is the concept of running the result of the unencrypted http request into python. Would suggest enforcing SSL use as a safety precaution.
