Abstract
Using a server system in accordance with the invention, a user and his/her companions can share information on the World Wide Web (WWW). The server system allocates a memory space for storing information particular to the user. This user memory space is associated with the user's login identification (ID) provided to the server system during the user login. Web information obtained by the user from the server system, or a representation of such information, is stored in the user memory space. In sharing the web information, the user's companions need to log onto the server system separately using the user's login ID. The server system then provides the companions with the web information based on the information currently stored in the memory space associated with the user's login ID provided by the companions.
