Thx Robin. Looks fine - but is the a difference between this tool and typewith.me?
Robin Good's comment, September 2, 2011 4:53 AM
Hello Ove, the essence is the same. Some features may be different but I need to test it further to identify which ones are these. :-)
Ove Christensen's comment September 2, 2011 5:25 AM
Hi Robin,
Thansk for you reply. I tested Pirate today with a friend. And it works pretty ok. Problems occured as we uploaded an attachment. When I used the slider I couldn't come back to writing.
Compared with Typewith.me I don't really see any difference - and the dashboard is pretty much the same as well. Not that this is a problem - it's fine to have more tools to choose from. Off-line writing option when the connection crashes would be nice.

Web Presentations: Share Your PPT Instanty and Get People Feedback On It Easily - Reel

Reel is a brand new tool that helps you quickly create and share presentations.

 

Each presentation is stored online behind a unique URL, and Reel provides a unique feature of audience polling in a very easy fashion.

 

But I already have Powerpoint; why would I need another presentation tool?

 

You have Powerpoint, but that doesn’t mean everyone else does too! With tablets, smartphones and internet access everywhere, you can’t rely on everyone being able to view a PPT.

 

Reel solves this by posting your preso behind a unique URL. Your audience only needs a web browser to view your preso where and when they are ready. In addition your audience won't have to wait for a file download or to open another software.

Top 7 Collaboration Software Tools for Successful Freelancers | FreelanceFolder

Top 7 Collaboration Software Tools for Successful Freelancers | FreelanceFolder | Online Collaboration Tools | Scoop.it

Freelancers are people who have first-hand knowledge about effective collaboration. Often they have to deal with remote teams. Freelancers may also have to deal with both location differences and time zone differences.


For successful communication and file sharing many freelancers use online services like Skype, email and ICQ.

 

However, anyone who has used these tools knows that having too many active applications is not convenient and may cause your computer to become overloaded.

 

As a result of an overloaded machine, you may have to stop all your project work for an undetermined period of time.
