A few possibilities: > Simple, elegant concept mapping with useful keyboard shortcuts, no-log-in required to make a basic diagram. > Create a poll that allows users to select one or more answers with results displayed in a grid. Great for scheduling group meetings. > Create a digital "poster wall" to share images, text, music, video and links. This is not your Mama's book report! > Create narrated screencast video tutorials up to 5 minutes each and annotated screenshots. Store videos and images for free at screencast.com or save them on your computer or network. > "Many Eyes is a bet on the power of human visual intelligence to find patterns."

Read them like books, play them like games, and send them like greeting cards. They’re curiously fun." > Use text, images and links to easily quickly create a dynamic timeline. > TitanPad lets people easily collaborate on shared notetaking in real-time, each using a different color. No sign-up needed. Try it here > Create and share your own comic strips using an array of characters, settings and custom speech balloons. > Add an image to each slide and allow video, voice, and text commenting and narration from multiple users. Great for collaboration and feedback. > Create a collaborative bulletin board using "sticky notes."
