ABC Writeboard

by Jay Cross on August 15, 2006

Tired of being tethered to one computer, I’m moving more and more of my work to the web. Yesterday I came upon something I’ve been seeking for several years: a fast, free, online note-taker. I’ve been experimenting with this year with a personal wiki for tracking links, reminders, and project details, but the wiki has proven too clumbsy for jotting down notes such as “Call Paul” or “email Janet.”

Enter ABC Writeboard, an editable space for collaborative writing. Writeboard works like a one-page wiki. Multiple authors can edit a single page and there’s version control to show who did what.

I’m using Writeboard as a scratch pad. It’s on my bookmark menu. It’s sort of like driving your Ferrari to the grocery store, but it’s perfect for my needs.
