Flash Based Whiteboard

GE has a nifty whiteboard written in flash that works quite well. Beside simple drawing, you can invite people to share your whiteboard with you through email or IM (looks like AIM only right now) and use a variety of pens/stamps/shapes, etc. [via lifehacker]

Reminds me of some of the functionality of Microsoft NetMeeting (when it actually worked). If you want to experiment with NetMeeting and it's whiteboard function as well, try going to Start -> Run and entering "conf.exe" (w/o the "s) on WinXP (not sure if its just pro or not, give it a try and post in the comments, I don't have a windows install handy right now). You can also fiddle with NetMeeting's eventual replacement, Portrait, (download it here) but I find that it doesn't work much better.
