EtherPad - Online Document Collaboration in Real Time!

I've just discovered this collaborative source via Twitter called EtherPad. It allows multiple participants to collaborate simultaneously on a document in real time.

Naturally it's free (at least for now), and no account is required! Couple it with the power of Skype or Oovoo, and you've got a really powerful set of collaborative tools at your disposal!

An excerpt from the site: "When multiple people edit the same document simultaneously, any changes are instantly reflected on everyone's screen. The result is a new and productive way to collaborate on text documents, useful for meeting notes, drafting sessions, education, team programming, and more."

Check out EtherPad and the awesome demonstration at http://etherpad.com
