After much searching I have finally found an internet application that operates similar to the way that one of the apps will on the Identity Share website. I seemed to be running into trouble figuring out how I could implement the "follow a user" app. It is easy to create an iframe in a browser that contains another browsing window, but security features in most browsers limit communication between the iframe window and the parent window if it is not browsing on the same server. Browzmi seems to get around this by running a proxy server that forwards all browsing in the iframe to browsmi's server. I was able to imperfectly copy their method by parsing the links out of website using PHP (currently up at
www.identityshare.net). Now that I know it's possible to get around the security issues, I'm confident that I can implement the app.
http://www.browzmi.com/- Allows users to share their browsing publicly.
- Uses the html iframe with a proxy to record locations.
- Works like a social networking site allowing favorites, comments, and rating for visited web sites.
- Site is designed like a web browser in your web browser.
