Abstract
Abstract A method for gaining access to web sites (e.g. 116) via a network by a group of user terminals (102. 1 ,102. 2 ), includes the steps of (a) via the network locating a web page in one of the web sites by one of the user terminals (102. 1 ), (b) collecting the address of the web page, and (c) via the network sending the address of the web page to the other user terminal(s) (102. 2 ). One of the web sites (116) stores the address of the located web page and sends this address to the other user terminal(s) (102.2).
