EtherPad: Realtime Collaborative Text Editing
May 19th, 2009
EtherPad lets people collaborate on text in really real-time. EtherPad is useful whenever multiple people with computers need to work together in real time.
With EtherPad, anyone in a meeting can contribute to the notes, or watch them as they’re typed. This means more efficient meetings, more useful notes, and fewer misunderstandings.
EtherPad literally keeps everyone on the same page.
EtherPad streamlines the wordsmithing process like never before. Previously, reaching agreement meant sending multiple copies of documents by email. With EtherPad, text can quickly be finalized by having all the stakeholders come to the same pad, make their edits, and collectively sign off on the resulting document.
