  • Sharing same as collaboration
Tango from NPAC is a Web browser based synchronous collaboration system allowing objects to be in any language including Java, VRML, JavaScript, C++
  • User must supply events to be shared through well defined API's
  • Needs a plugin for Netscape3 but uses signed Applets and no plugins for IE4 and Netscape4
