Hoot.Me is a Facebook application that allows you see what your friends are working on and collaborate with them inside of Facebook.
For example, if you’re working on calculus homework, Hoot lets you see all the people at your school working on calculus. You can also search through sessions from other schools if you want. Once you join a study session, you can collaborate using group video conferencing and smart chat. Smart chat allows typed math equations to be automatically reformatted to look the way they should. Sessions are stored, so you can get your help from past conversations too!
Don’t want your studies to be public? No problem! With private sessions, you can invite only the people you want by sharing the link. If you’re a teacher, you can use this for your class to hold virtual office hours or answer homework questions. You don’t have to be Facebook friends to collaborate on Hoot.
