Take note(s)

I'm not sure that I have a use for this right now but this tool looks fantastic. It's Etherpad - an online tool which allows everyone to see and work on a document at the same time. And obviously, if you're also on Skype you can talk to each other while you're doing it - which will make the exercise a whole lot easier! There's a brief intro video showing what it can do on the site. (Of course,it could also be a way of sidestepping the lack of an IM program on your work computer but I'm sure no-one will advocate that ... especially when you can already do that through GMail.)
