another "new to me" social software site

I can't wait to get a chance to play around with the new site I just discovered for this week's "find a new site" assignment! It's called dabbleBoard and is an online, easy to use, easy to share, collaborative whiteboard application. You can check out a quick (3 1/2 minute) tour of the site to see how easy and fun it can be. Watching it reminded me of the UPS commercials that are on TV these days, with the guy effortlessly drawing images and diagrams and charts. DabbleBoard gives all of us similar tools, as charts/drawings can be created with simple clicks and movements of the mouse (and very limited visits to the toolbar.)

It is free and signing up is not required to use it. (Although, if you want to save your drawings to access at a later time, you must create a free account.) You choose whether to make your creations public or private. Another great feature is that you can email what you're working on to someone and both of you can edit/change it in real time.
