Safari co-browsing

Ever wanted to be able to share your browser window, so the remote party sees exactly what you are seeing in your browser?

If you're on a Mac, you now can as i quickly whipped together a little AppleScript Studio app which does exactly this by the use of Remote Apple Events.

The remote party must have a reachable IP - and by reachable i mean even through a firewall. Also, in the Sharing System Preferences, Remote Apple Events need to be turned on.

Now, if you do know your remote parties IP and the remote party gives you an admin username and password, you can start co-browsing right after you downloaded and unzipped my little app. It is freely (as in beer) distributed under my creative commons license:

Being able to whip something together so quickly just makes you love the Mac-Platform.
