Description: A collaborative writing software, WriteBoard makes it extremely easy to create a document and share it. Writeboards are sharable text files that can be revised by one or many users, and include a rollback feature to roll back to previous versions. It is a free product, and you control who accesses your documents by inviting people to share it.

Review: As usual, 37Signals leads the pack with collaboration tools. WriteBoards are so easy to use that it is almost embarrasing not to use them. As a comparison, the Google Docs are still following a lot of the MS conventions, whereas the WriteBoard is almost what it says, ie, like a white board. The formatting is a simple, no-brainer system, with help right on the side. You can export your white board as html or text file. And you can decide if you edits are considered a new version or a minor edit. As far as ease of use, this one gets 5 stars. May not do all that you need, but it sure is a great and FREE start.
