  • requesting service by at least one client of a plurality of clients for a groupwise synchronized representation of network contents by a synchronization server, the network contents being distinct from an access address or URL of the network contents;

    combining specific other clients requested by the at least one client from the plurality of clients in the request for groupwise synchronized representation into a synchronous multimedia session group;

    rerouting at least one request for specific network contents, corresponding to a URL located on an arbitrary network server, by a requesting client belonging to the synchronous multimedia session group to the synchronization server;

    loading the requested specific network contents into the synchronization server;

    forward the requested specific network contents from the synchronization server to the requesting client; and

    prompting all clients belonging to the synchronous multimedia session group by the synchronization server to request the specific network contents in a manner similar to the requesting client.
