BlogSmith: December 2009
http://blogsmith4.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 7, 2009. Wow Aaron Iba has just sold Etherpad to Google for an estimated $10 million. We used Etherpad earlier this year for an online collaborative assignment within the computer lab. It is a "real time" online notepad that allows multiple users to collaborate. In real time. Did I mention real time? I know this because I have been using Google Docs with my students for the past three years. And it isn't in real time. So why the Wow? Seriously.it is worth the read!
