Google Surf Party: A gathering of several or more friends around a single screen with the intention of discovering together surfing through the wonders of the internet.

The computer connection should be fast enough to withstand the whiplash of clicks that will surely ensure.

One person is designated as the arbitrator and is given control of the mouse. The screen should wither be a projection or large enough for a small group of friends to allsee the screen at the same time. Although actually seeing the screen is not necessarily a requirement since the object of the Google Surf Party is to actually talk about the sites you visit with your friends.
