Ft. Myers, FL-based Slingpage raised $2.2M in an angel round earlier this year, the startup now says Slingpage is a social browsing application that allows users to share Web content and to view the same page simultaneously.

But we imagine the first one might be a worker who send his co-worker a Slingpage invite to look at a competitor's Web page update together. Generally, you would expect that a link would suffice but Slingpage ads a step more of collaboration. We can also imagine friends looking at Facebook pages together.
