I'd love to be able to just add a script tag to my website, and then log into some web based service which shows me a list of the current sessions on my website allowing me to click on one of those sessions and monitor their progress through the site using this dom mirroring technique. There must be money to be made in this sort of service?

Sounds like a novel way of stalking.

    Yes, with the user's permission.

      I'm not sure why you'd need the users permission to view what they're doing on your site in real time? I don't feel like I need to gain permission before I tail my access log when people are viewing my website? How is this any different?

        So you're telling you wouldn't mind someone watching every single mouse click and every word you type on a website without your consent?

        The "someone" is the person running the website. So no, of course I don't mind. What is the danger? I already leave a log of my IP address, the web browser I'm using, the links I click, the time/date of my visit and any data that I submit through forms. If they want to monitor my mouse position as well, then fine.

        You're talking about small websites. I'm talking about websites with a lot of traffic and a lot of employees. You think only one person will be using that function? Not to mention the potential abuse by employees whose job is to monitor real-time user activity.

        "You're talking about small websites." No. I'm not. I don't get where you think the danger lies?

        No wonder we're headed to a future with less privacy.

        I'm all for securing your privacy. I'm just not one of those people who thinks my privacy is being invaded if somebody looks at me when I'm walking down the street.

That's definitely one of our ideas for pushing this further!

  Serrano is about something fundamentally different than this. We're not talking about viewing, we're talking about interacting with, guiding, troubleshooting, and participating with the users AS THEY VIEW YOUR SITE. Also, I've used your API, and I'm not sure if you've updated it since then, but attaching attributes / classes to the elements to track was and is pretty awful.
