Largely Java system enabling collaboration between general client side objects
  • If client side object is a Server proxy, then this ruse enables sharing of server side objects
  • Has API for Java applet/application, C++, JavaScript
API Enables sharing of events in applications
  • This is just a fancy way of saying it forwards messages
API Enables applications to find out about participants
Currently ONLY deployed for Netscape version 4.05 and above as uses LiveConnect to connect JavaScript to Java
  • Internet Explorer version not fully debugged
Tango 2.0 is about as good as you can do with current web
  • Tango 1.4 less flashy but production "quality"
