There are times in life (and more frequently in business) where you need to work together as a team. In business there may be a presentation or press release that needs to be created and everyone’s input is required to make the final document really stand out.
EtherPad allows a group of people to share and collaborate in real-time on a single document to put everything together that’s needed to get all the details and points put together to get your message across.
With the ability to see each user’s edits display as you type your own ideas, you can quickly feed of each other’s ideas and comments. Each user’s input is color-coded and highlighted to clearly identify additions and changes from each user.
You can get started for free and there’s no logon required. EtherPad also offers a premium version with additional features that includes the ability to install the service on your own servers for extended usage.

Hi Jason,
We are excited that you are finding great business value through the use of our product. I wanted to let you know that we will be pushing some major user experience upgrades to the free service in the next week. We will be launching a private beta of our On-Demand solution in the next week so companies will have a choice between the behind the firewall Private Network Edition and a hosted solution with On-Demand. Let us know if we can help you all in any way.
Thanks again for the wonderful post.
