You should check out our cobrowsing service Firefly (http://usefirefly.com/). We provide support all the way back to IE 8.

What are peoples' thoughts on using rsync for production deployment?
We provide a similar service here at Firefly: http://usefirefly.com/ Except our stuff is definitely production-grade software, works across all browsers, and supports dynamic DOM changes.

Good to see some big names taking their own spin on co-browsing.

yeah would like to know this as well. If this works and is accurate, it could be huge for IE testing.
Re:Intel Raises $6 Billion in Bond Sale to Buy Back Stock on Wednesday December 05, 2012 @12:08AM (#4874977)
Swapping debt for equity allows Intel to benefit from the interest tax shields from debt, which raises the enterprise value of the firm, assuming that default risk does not disproportionately rise.
Yes, we're always thinking about security and we take it very seriously. Great suggestions! As you guessed, we do use ssl to encrypt all transmission of data that powers the browser-sharing.
We just changed the headline from "screen sharing" to "browser-sharing". Hopefully that will clear up the confusion.
Agreed. We just changed our headline from "screen sharing" to "browser-sharing".
This is Justin, another Firefly co-founder. Dan's correct in that those screenshots are outdated. Our javascript is compiled down to one file (other than our loader) and both are loaded in asynchronously, so everything is fast with only two http requests.
I really think my answer here on Quora about Peter Thiel explains the main part of this: http://www.quora.com/Peter-Thiel/How-is-Peter-Thiel-so-amazi...

I don't think it's nerves as much as it's a mismatch between someone's internal intelligence/thinking speed and their ability to translate that into speech on the spot.

It'd be interesting if anyone could figure out what about AR 3.0.5 vs. AR 2.3.2 is causing this performance decline.

Never knew Paul Graham began as an artist. I'm not that surprised though. Art and programming are both forms of creative expression.
Re:Ask HN: What can kill Facebook? on Saturday August 14, 2010 @01:13PM (#1603622)
Isn't that what Google Me plans on doing? These well-defined real-world communities would consist of a friend group, a family group, and a work group. All types of shared information would be classified into one of these groups and be visible to only those within that specific group.

Also, what about niche social networks? Linkedin seems to have conquered the professional social network. Facebook seems strongest in the friend category. To me it seems awkward having family and friends in the same Facebook network. Perhaps a niche family social network could succeed...
