Want to work with your business partners on some text for a proposal? Want to pass a memo or letter by someone else for editing before you send it? Want fellow students to contribute to a group paper? Writeboards are sharable, web-based text documents that let you save every edit, roll back to any version, and easily compare changes. You can use Writeboard to write solo or collaborate with others.
Writeboard seems very useful for authors, journalists, PR folks, editors, and publishers, bloggers or freelance writers, letter writers, songwriters, poets, comedians, creatives, and students, professors, and groups collaborating on a paper. You can write a business letter, copy for your website, a marketing brochure, or a product description, or a weblog post, or a song, or an idea, or an essay, or a book chapter, or whatever else you might normally write in your email program, text editor, or word processor. But unlike a Word document that’s stored at your office on one computer, you can get to your writeboards from any computer in the world with an internet connection and a web browser. Sharing writeboards is easy, simply enter someone’s email address and they’ll get an invitation with a link to view and edit the writeboard. Every time you save an edit a new version is created. This allows you to write without fear of deleting something, overwriting something, or losing a better version of the document from last week. You can also compare different versions of a writeboard. This is especially useful when you are collaborating with multiple people on a writeboard. You can see what others have changed or added to their versions of the writeboard.
