Show HN: Surfly - surf the web together (HTML5 based, no plugins, just works) (surfly.com)

So we've just launched our new service which is the simplest way to share a browser session with others. It does not require any extra software or plugins nor do you need to write a single line of code. Just open surfly.com enter an address and share the link.

Registration via Mail? And the mail takes way too long ... what year do you live in? 1990?

holy cow this is cool...

seriously impressive stuff, I have to say.

do you have a list of supported browsers, and/or fallback gracefully if someone attempts to join with an unsupported browser?

It seems like only the person who starts the session can do most things? (like form filling, moving Google maps, etc).

Is it a leader/follower model?

Btw, anyone knows why this submission dropped from the front page? Was something wrong with it? Or is is just my view that is missing it?

Wow, we do a lot of web demos and have to setup gotomeeting which seems like overkill for just sharing our browser, I'm very interested in this project!

Feedback: surfly didn't like it when I tried to share a session to surfly.com.

Cool Stuff

Isn't this the exact same as:

https://github.com/mozilla/togetherjs

With the difference that you charge for it?

You have all right though, since it's MPL licensed - but i can't find that license anywhere....
