  • Abstract
    The future of computer use is undeniably on the Web. People bank, store documents, do research, and even make and maintain friendships online. With this explosion of Web-based content and applications has come a proliferation of tools to streamline and automate people´s interactions on the Web, leading many users to write Web scripts to simplify their work. With CoScripter, users can automate Web activities through scripting and share scripts with others.
