Inviting someone to a Web Tour

To invite someone to a Web tour:

  1. Launch Firetalk on the Web by clicking on the Launch button in the lower left-hand corner of the Firetalk window. This launches your browser application.
  2. Surf to the web site you wish to start the tour from.
  3. Highlight the persons in your Contacts list who you want to join your Web Tour, right-click on the highlighted names, and select Invite to Web Tour. To invite multiple users at once, Shift-click or Control-click their names in your Contact list.

Firetalk sends your invitation; in a moment, the person you invited sees a flashing icon by his name, and the Firetalk icon in the taskbar flashes as well. When the user clicks on either flashing icon, they see a dialog box like this one:

The user accepts your invitation by clicking on Accept Invitation to Web Tour. They then join you on the designated web page and Firetalk displays a yellow bus next to their name in the Participant list. You may then browse the web and all Firetalk users who are part of the Web Tour follow along, without having to type in a URL or click on a link.

NOTE: Only the Web Tour guide can invite other users to join the web tour. You can also remove someone from the tour by right-clicking on the their name and selecting Remove from Web Tour.
