DutchPIPE is software that enables multi user, persistent state web sites, object oriented and is a whole new perspective of looking at sites and pages.

There's only one world with one set of objects - if you drop something on a page, someone else can visit that page, see the object, and carry it away elsewhere.

Here are some key features of "DutchPIPE":
Social sites
Build visualized, real multi-user communities, fora and chat rooms. See your buddies wander around.
E-commerce and site assistant applications
Make easy-to-use product and shopping cart pages. Have automated and/or real person site assistants stand by to assist your customers and increase sales.
Game environments
From card games to virtual RPG worlds, DutchPIPE makes it possible.
User areas
Let people make their own "area" - pages, objects, actions, etc., without technical knowledge.
Site monitoring, 'snooping'
Track where people are going and what they are doing. Improve your processes. Be invisible, or run DutchPIPE invisible for visitors. Snoop visitors: see an exact copy of a visitor's browser window, including mouse movements. Beware of the privacy implications!
Developers platform extraordinaire
Persistent state, object-oriented building gives way to a whole new way of developing DOM web applications. In other words...
