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 4.5 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"
