That’s My Mouse allows you to see share a web browsing experience with other people. You see their tag moving around as they move their mouse and any changes they make to the page. You can also add pins, write comments, etc.

It has a full API and also simple Javascript snippets to add it to your own web pages.

They seem to be keen for people to try mash-ups with it and use Google Maps as an example of usage, showing someone the way to your house. But I think it could be pretty useful for web designers working remotely to easy collaborate and talk about changes.

A few months ago I spent a very fun couple of weeks doing some work for the folks over at Pokewhere my friend (and ex-Antiromer) Nik Roope is one of the partners. I was shooting (I was going to say directing, but it was a fairly collaborative effort on that front) the video for the Yahoo! Mail Championships microsite as well as doing some of the compositing.
