    Guys,
    This was shown on BBC World.

    I would like u all to try it out with your friends.

    What is this software called?

    Well, its called ME.DIUM

    I posted here as it works on Windows Platform & requires an installation of a small program.

    This is the description:
    Me.dium
    me.dium.com

    Surfing the web can be a solitary pursuit. Sure, you have messenger and emails popping up from friends, but it's not quite like hanging out, sharing a joke with a mate about something you've seen. Or is it?

    For an increasing number of people that's exactly what surfing the web is about. I'm hooked on Me.dium, and if you're the sociable type then I think you will be too.

    Click the three dots in the centre of the screen to learn more. There are three panels of reasons to use this software, each of which invite you to sign up and download at the end. Rather annoyingly you have to use the back button if you want to read all three before taking the plunge.

    That said, I was sold on the idea pretty quickly, so signed up and then downloaded the plugin. You'll need to tell your browser that the Me.dium site can edit your settings, but the website even steps you through that before the download.

    After restarting your browser the plugin will display a people map in the sidebar - just use the View menu to switch that back to History or Bookmarks if you want to.

    There is so much you can do with this panel. If you invite friends to the network you can see when they're online, what pages they're surfing, and you can even jump onto the same page and send them a chat message. You can also make friends with new people by making your presence public.

    And if your friends are rubbish and surf pointless websites, medium has its own selection of recommendations based on your internet activity.



    I am trying it out with my friends.. they are loving it..

    Basically you can 'Surf Together' with your friends & discover what they are doing on comp. .. so its fun.
