StatHat - Awesome custom stat tracking tool. Crisis Commons The Commentor- A Visual Online Collaboration & Annotation Tool There are several tools on the net for written online collaboration. For example, MUO recently published an article about TypeWith.me for writing collaboration. But for those working on and seeking feedback on visual media projects, The Commentor might be a useful online collaboration tool. This site is useful for web designers, photographers, advertising agencies, and freelancers in general who work in the visual communication fields. Tools like The Commentor enable users to get beyond writing endless emails to provide feedback; and instead, it provides ways to give feedback on visual documents themselves. The Commentor’s free plan allows for 100MB of image uploads, two projects, and three collaborators. After signing up for an account, you begin by adding a project folder. Add Sketch After the project is created, you start adding “sketches,” e.g. visual images, designs, art work, photos. Annotation Tool Once projects are uploaded, you can invite others to give you, well, comments.
