Jybe - Web Browsing Made Social
The Internet has been in fairly wide use for a decade now, yet we are only now starting to realize how much more social the experience can be. If you think about it, the time you spend on the internet is pretty lonely and isolated. Like reading a book, you are off into your own world, away from friends and family, reading words on the screen for entertainment or learning.
Some internet services like email, instant messaging, and the like, have enabled us to connect better with loved ones, and even strangers. But most of these activities (besides IM) are asynchronous - you send an email, and usually wait a few hours or days for the response.
Jybe is a new plug-in for your browser that makes browsing the web much more social:
Jybe lets you browse the web in real-time with friends, family and business partners. Show off your favorite websites or give your customer a live tour of your product catalog.
This is exciting not only for regular internet users, but for businesses as well. You can use Jybe to help customers navigate your online store. Go comparison shopping online for supplies and services with other decision-makers in your company. Or browse other sites with co-workers and customers to get a feel for what works best and what is awkward about the customer experience on sites like yours.
