Go Team!

Thank you all who have been giving us feedback on the - team edition. We really appreciate your involvement and help in improving skrbl.
New users we need your feedback too, pls. feel free to mail your comments, suggestions & critiques to rashidATruvekaDOTcom. Please be gentle ;)
And for those who haven't tried out the team edition yet, check out the features on this comparision chart.

Have you checked out the changes in the video? Instead of a person to person call it is now to all users on the whiteboard. Of course you still have to be a registered team user to initiate a video conference but all whiteboard participants are invited to the video conference by default. The logic being - the team is on the whiteboard to work together, so a video conference with the whole team is more natural than one on one calls.

Of course if you want to communicate one on one with a team member there is skrbl's one click skype call or text chat.

More changes are in the works, a simple new widget for your whiteboard, changes in how tasks are handled. We will continue to try making skrbl "harder, better, faster, stronger"...

Happily ever after?

This is what I came across on our home page today (on the graffiti board).



Skrbling a marriage proposal!!!
Talk about user participation, this is a first for us, a use case we never dreamt up(guess I need to update the user documentation :). The online equivalent of shouting it out from the rooftops, a new paradigm for the new Millenium (I do 2.0 ?).

Good luck kids, hope it all works out for you, and if you feel like sharing, do write in and tell us how it played out... always love a happy ending.

skrbl in class 2

"The best compliment anyone can give your product is to actually use it" - ???
I dont know if someone ever said that, but if not, someone should.

Last week it was a classfull of students discussing Steinbeck on skrbl. This week it is a classfull of students discussing Arthur Miller, read about it on the blog and see it on VIDEO...

skrbl in the classroom

Users keep coming up with cool new uses of skrbl and (perhaps not surprisingly) teachers are particularly innovative in using skrbl in the classroom. Here is a good example. 19 students discussing Steinbeck, no less, collaborating on the skrbl whiteboard, writing, commenting, reacting... tres cool.
Here is end result.


Much thanks Mr. Lewisberry for using skrbl and writing about it, it's users like you that keep our wheels rolling.
