Hey Diogo,

Thanks for sharing this! It's the first time I'm hearing about it, but this looks like a great idea.

Will definitely try Tow Truck on a site soon.

Thanks again,

Matthew

I wondered if it would be possible to use e.g. the Inspector together, to modify a website and talk about changes, but I'm guessing not?

Hello,

I just tried it out.  I opened a session in Firefox, then "joined" my own session via Safari.  You can immediately see where the other "member" is pointing on the screen.  However, it seems MarcC is correct that you can't share the inspector.

I opened FireBug and began making some changes.  When I looked in my Safari "member," those changes did not appear, nor did it show that my other member was even using FireBug.

This seems like a very promising idea.  At the moment, it only seems effective when making live changes on your server and "pointing" to things.  If they can integrate FireBug changes, it would be a huge step!

Thanks,

Matthew
