Etherpad (UPDATE: is shutting down…)


UPDATE: No sooner had I posted this on my blog that Etherpad announced they are being acquired by Google. The tried and true method of eliminating small competitors shows itself again. Oh well, play around with it for now…

I just learned about Etherpad, a very awesome tool. It’s founded by some people who used to work at Google Docs and is much simpler. You write in “really real time”! It’s designed only as a collaboration tool, and highlights text based on who wrote it.

Also, it’s embeddable. Try it out below!
