Twiddla?
Twiddla “is an online collaboration tool that’s easy to use, doesn’t require any downloads or complicated firewall stuff, and is free for just about anybody. It’s like having a whiteboard skin on top of any web page or uploaded image (or nothing at all –you can use it as a blank canvas). You can mark up this whiteboard layer and interact with the web page at the same time – all in real time, with people from all over the world.” (from their website)
Google Docs
Collaborate on the creation of a document, spreadsheet or presentations through Google Docs. Hosted on the web, they have a very familiar “Microsoft Office” feel and they automatically save multiple revisions.
