Your Virtual Collaborative Whiteboard

A fantastic coach and businessman I know, Christian Mickelsen, blew me away the first time I visited his home. On one entire wall of his office, he had huge whiteboards pieced together to create this gigantic blank canvas. On it he scribbled, edited, and brainstormed the wealth of ideas that a creative genius like himself constantly has swirling around in his head.

Imagine having a blank canvas like that on your computer that you can share in almost real-time with team members, colleagues, or clients from anywhere in the world. Not only can you create and edit a document, but you can invite others to do the same from their computers. How cool is that? And did I mention that it's free?

This tool is called Writeboard. Check them out and create your first board in less than one minute.

If this tool looks familiar it's because it's operated by the same company that manages Backpack and Highrise, two other resources that I blogged about. The company is 37signals and they are doing some innovative stuff. But that deserves it's own separate post. Look for it next week.
