After registering, the user could send e-mail inviting friends to join in a trip through the Web. You can lead a whole group through the Web and communicate with them through a real-time chat. At each site they visit, registered users will see a list of TogetherWeb users already at that site and be able to chat with them or join trips to other sites. At customer support of other guide sites, users would be able to ask questions from experts and be led to pages containing product information or e-commerce applications. They will be able to interact with those users as part of one big community regardless of where they started.
Every Web site can be an instant community.
Hargett believes the high level of interactivity will appeal to guide sites, whose visitors now must wait for answers. When you go to a guide site, you want an answer right now. You don't want to have to post a question then come back the next day for an answer.
