Abstract

A system and method are disclosed for enhancing a conversation initiated over the Internet, Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), wireless cellular or data networks, or other communication medium by adding peer-to-peer collaborative Internet browsing to the conversation. In a preferred embodiment, the present system comprises a Web server used to set up a collaborative browsing session where each participant enters a common session name and user identity and client software components resident on the devices of each session participant. Each client software component comprises a monitoring module that is adapted to analyze HTTP requests from a first participant's browser and generate a set of instructions that is transmitted to other participants' devices to duplicate the first participant's browsing experience for the other participants. In some preferred embodiments, the present system may be integrated with a variety of network services to provide further value to participants and enhance the collaborative browsing session.
