Abstract
Users sharing web pages and editing shared content are forced to manually refresh their web browsers to view a latest version of the content. This can be cumbersome and may not give users a true interactive content sharing experience. Functionality for dynamic sharing of content modifications and for automatic presentation of the latest version of the content can be implemented on the web browser to ensure that the latest version of the content is always presented to the user. By automatically retrieving content modifications made by one user and transmitting the content modifications to other users viewing and editing the shared content, users can be preempted from having to manually refresh the content presented on the web browser. This can result in a more interactive content sharing experience with little or no manual intervention.
