These days, who doesn't wish they could watch the newest season of Orange Is the New Black [1] with their long-distance best friend? Instead of attempting to Skype with someone or press play at just the right second, a new service called Showgoers will sync up both of your Netflix screens so you can watch a show or movie at the same time.
The free extension, which came out in July and is only available for Google Chrome [2] right now, works pretty well and is easy to use. Just install the extension, find a show and click on the glasses in the corner, send the link to a friend — and bam! You both can view a show or movie together. Here's a demo video if you want to see it at work.
I tried it, and it's awesome that this finally exists — especially when a friend and I just want to watch an old episode of Gossip Girl [3] together as a guilty pleasure. Yet another reason to binge-watch on Netflix [4].
