Check out Dabbleboard!

So, I've been looking for a free, open source online whiteboard for a long time. I tried using skirbl and dimdim, but they both fell way short of my requirements.

But, have no fear. Dabbleboard is here!

Dabbleboard is a very easy-to-use online whiteboard that can be used by anybody who uses a browser. You can even save a library of your drawings or common objects that you use. And, the most important feature is that it is very easy for multiple people to draw on the same whiteboard.

The best way to see what I'm talking about is to check out the tour.

I plan to use this for a number of reasons, especially when my team at work needs to brainstorm. We are all over the country, so finding tools like this should help a lot.

BTW, Happy Halloween!

Web Information Transit Map

Are you feeling lost in the Web 2.0 world? Are your social networking skillz a little rusty? Don't worry, the Information Architects Japan folks can help you find your way. Click on the map below to download a readable version or to view a clickable online version.

In all seriousness, this map is pretty mind boggling. It's definitely modeled after some of the big city transit maps, but this picture is even more daunting. I sometimes feel completely overwhelmed by the Web 2.0 explosion and everything that is happening, and this one picture shows me why. It is unbelievable how much has changed on the internets in the past few years.

It's clear to me that you can't do everything, so I'm trying to see what social networking areas fit me. I'm starting to blog more on this blog and I'm active in Sun's wiki projects. The bottom line is that the Web 2.0 phenomenon is here to stay and we all need to catch the next online bus or subway and hang on!
