Dabbleboard collaborative whiteboard
We're finally Lifehackered! Funny how we finally updated our video last night. And it already has as many views as the previous one, which was 3 months old.
Edit: since it looks like this isn't dropping off the HN home page yet, check out our developer API at http://www.dabbleboard.com/main/developer . (I posted about that a couple of days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=321413 , but it dropped off the HN home page quickly.)
It would be really fantastic if technology like this encouraged the public to work together on concepts and ideas. For example, let's say I wanted to do some exploratory work on a concept or idea. I'd love to be able to publish a request describing what I want to do in a time-based directory, users select the "project", and we all play around together trying to test the idea.
Certainly I would probably avoid using my own intellectual property, but if I was testing a particular concept, sketch, layout, or idea, it might be neat to gather responses from people who are interested in similar topics, in real time.
Just dabbling in thought.
I'd love to see this support multi-touch so I can stick it up on the wall with the Wii whiteboard hack (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~johnny/projects/wii/)
Dabbleboard is sick. I love that I can ctrl+Z away what I just did. Extremely intuitive.
