ConceptShare

My group just started using ConceptShare, which is a product the allows collaboration between geographically separated groups by allowing users to create and mark-up shared visual workspaces, as well as discussing these ideas in real-time. ConceptShare uses a browser and is subscription-based. Being browser-based, it is reasonably platform independent. The product appears to be geared towards visual designers or at least designs that can be reasonably conveyed graphically.

The workspaces support multiple concept pages, with the ability to follow individual comment threads, as well as importing screen captures by inserting its URL. Images can be drawn, resized, imported, etc. – everything that you would expect and need to be able to do with a tool of this nature. The product supports many file types, including still images, videos, etc.

So far, we are just getting started with this tool, but it is impressive.
