Abstract
Interfaces and embodiments are provided for sending a transmission of Web content from one browser application to another browser application with commentary and annotations. The content of the transmission is sent, received and displayed without requiring the use or display of a traditional email interface. The content of a transmission is automatically loaded into a background tab of a browser at a recipient system and is subsequently displayed when the corresponding tab is selected by the recipient.
