Architecture. It. Qr. Soap. EtherPad: Dead Simple Real Time Collaboration. EtherPad is not likely to win a price for its user interface design, but it might just be one of the most useful web apps we have seen in quite a while.
EtherPad allows you to instantly create a workspace for text documents that you can then share with your colleagues, clients, or friends. Every edit to the document will immediately appear on your co-workers' screens in real-time. EtherPad acknowledges that Google Docs already allows for a similar kind of collaboration, but compared to EtherPad, Google Docs is clunky and slow when you just want to collaborate on a simple text document.
