ThatsMyMouse shares your mouse position with other visitors on the same webpage.
The internet has traditionally been a very solitary experience.
Despite the millions of people who use it every day, we only interact with a very small number. Any website owner knows that it’s a tiny percentage of people who visit a site who will participate in posting comments or submitting any information.
ThatsMyMouse solves that problem, by allowing people to passively interact. Just by navigating through a web-page you can interact with the people on it. Since it’s written in JavaScript (and supports all major browsers) it works for 95+% of visitors after a website places a single line of JavaScript on their page. You can see, talk and interact with anyone who browses to the same page as you.
Thanks to our powerful JavaScript API, ThatsMyMouse also solves another problem. Even though we are frequently connected to websites via the internet, it can be very hard to connect in real-time other people also visiting the website at the same time. Even on sites designed for collaboration, updates must be made asynchronously.
ThatsMyMouse makes it trivially easy to transfer JavaScript objects between two visitors on the same webpage. This opens up a whole new range of possibilities for web-based mashups.
Why thatsmymouse.com It Might Be A Killer
ThatsMyMouse is really a whole new way to think about online interaction. It brings the benefits of passive interaction established in virtual worlds right onto the pages of the web. It’s the next step towards pervasive virtual worlds, built on the existing internet infrastructure.
