Online server where I can analyze my games with a friend

Hi, is there a online go server that allows two people to see the same board while analyzing and playing out different variations, and possibly to make special marks that are seen simultaneously by both players?
If there are chess players around, what I'm thinking of is something like ICC that allows you to examine a board and see everything the other person does live including arrows and circles and different variations.
Thanks in advance.

KGS. If you want it to me private then create a teaching game in a private room.

Hey, thanks, Dr.
I tried installing the KGS client on my computer but my security settings won't allow it. And I went into the java control panel and tried adding KGS as an exception but the option wasn't available.

Someone posted earlier this week about how to get round that.

The best server for this that I know is
OGS — Online Go Server
See the move nodes with coloured outlines? These are the ones with comments. Very practical.
Upload SGF files, download SGF files, LOTS of tools for review.
Runs in any modern browser, no extra software (like JAVA) required. And YES, it probably isn’t quite there where KGS is with regard to reviewing, but at the current rate of updates in both places OGS will probably soon overtake KGS feature-wise.
