The new "Uber for X" might be "Watch Parties for Y", where Y is any previously socially-isolated web browsing/watching activity!

@chrismessina That’s an interesting thought. I suppose anything isolated which would be enriched with companionship. Like we can watch a movie alone, but we go through a fair bit of inconvenience and price to go to a movie theatre and watch with friends. I suppose a similar condition applies to the mall. I’d be curious to know what other behaviors are out there that we’d prefer to do with company.

@raunaqvaisoha my observation is that it's more about technology (bandwidth/mobile) and situation (stay home) that's enabling this. Computing started out as a fairly isolated endeavor; the web allowed us to share static representations of content via links; mobile allows us to "be with one another, synchronously but geographically dispersed" — and so it's the real-time nature/cobrowsing that seems suddenly possible thanks to WebRTC and other browser technologies.

@chrismessina That makes a lot of sense. Excited for the experiences we can bring in through cobrowsing.

GJ Guys! :) Now you can easily ask your friends to build your computer, ingeniously

@novik_george Hahaha, that's good thinking, hadn't thought of that use case 😁

Interesting idea! Just FYI the copy url to clipboard function doesn't seem to work for me (Safari, Mac)

@hachistudio Hi Hachi, Thanks for pointing this bug out. Yes, looks like the clipboard API for Safari isn't working as expected. Will be pushing out a fix shortly. Thanks again.
