ChannelME – Browse the web with your friends simultaneously

ChannelME is a great web tool. It allows its users to browse a particular website simultaneously. Isn't this a great idea to be able to look at the same content of a web page with your friends  in real time and even chat with each other using a chat facility for free. Browsing a webpage with your friends simultaneously  can help you bridge that communication gap and  let you enjoy the site collectively by pointing out to its positive and negative aspects.

You can share the generated URL with your colleagues who, once they open it, they will be asked  to provide a nickname which will allow them to chat with each others while browsing.
