The idea behind th.isandth.at

You can use th.isandth.at to compare, share, multi-task, pretend like your working, etc. We've come up with a bunch of great uses for it just incase you need some inspiration. You can bookmark what you loaded up for viewing later. Anything to save a click, right?

Can't I just open up two tabs/windows instead?

Sure, but if you want to show your friend you'll have to tell them to open up two tabs as well. Also, try that on your iPhone or iPad.

Why can't my twitter/email/other potentially sensitive data containing site work?

th.isandth.at uses iframes for its functionality which can be used maliciously by mean individuals who want to steal your data. th.isandth.at are not meanies, but smart companies prevent their page from loading in an iframe no matter how nice you are.

Why does hulu pop itself out of the page?

Some websites don't like being inside of an iframe and have a small script to pop right out if it ever gets put inside of one.

When I click "share this pair" it doesn't actually share the sites I wanted it to.

That is because once you navigate within the frame, th.isandth.at doesn't know where you went (this is a security feature of your browser to stop the meanies). All it knows is the last page that you loaded into the frame by pressing the go button.

Do you store any of my information?

No. We do not store any information aside from standard, anonymous site usage stats via Google Analytics.

I have a suggestion, who can I tell?

Email Cris at crisman@th.isandth.at.
