Collaborative navigation systems provide a useful way for virtual groups to share information through the web. However, the common set of features of these tools is not enough to offer a more face-to-face-like browsing experience. To fill this gap, this paper presents a novel collaborative navigation approach, which aims at integrating important features of a lightweight distributed architecture, awareness, session state sharing and annotations. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach, LiCoB prototype was developed and then, evaluated considering performance issues.
