Evaluating e-whiteboards

  1. http://vyew.com/
    • Long and kindof annoying signup process.
    • Multiple account tiers, free account has ads.
    • Email account validation.
    • Can manage lots of different “books” and pages.
    • Graphics are a little bit laggy.
    • Most robust?
  2. http://www.skrbl.com/
    • Drops you right into a whiteboard, no signup.
    • Doesn’t support Camino? Crashes Firefox? IE only?
    • No Mac support = deal breaker
  3. http://www.imaginationcubed.com/
    • Drops you right into a whiteboard, no signup.
    • Less Software - less to think about.
    • Pen graphic is a bit distracting.
    • Easy (and very cool) replay tool.
    • No eraser? Type tool is a bit glitchy.
    • Sharing is a bit glitchy too.

In the end, I ended up being the most productive in Vyew. Working Software comes before Less Software, and some of their tools and features came in very handy indeed.
