Startup Shares Your Web Experience with Your Friends

GoInstant can be described in three simple words: "collaborative Web browsing," a phrase which doesn't as a matter of fact explain just how simple this startup's research is.

There are two things GoInstant doesn't do: Flash, and VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). MacDonald said that VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) was excluded because the GoInstant research was simple enough that the companies GoInstant talked to felt that they could integrate it with their own VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) platform. And, since GoInstant is going afterwards the business-to-consumer market, it chose to exclude Flash.
