In a similar vein to Jotspot, another collaborative tool is writeboard. The difference is that it seems that writeboard has quite a bit more functionality and it is completely free, no matter how many “boards” you put up. Also, it has some pretty good organising functions, so take a look around. The company that has developed this is called 37 signals and they have developed a few other collboration tools such as:
Basecamp – web based project management tool
Backpack – personal and small business information organiser
TaDa list – web based to do list
Looks pretty good, take a look at : http://www.writeboard.com and http://www.37signals.com.

How do these differ from wiki’s?
I’ve been using the backpack product and it’s been a real winner. To answer Graeme, Backpack is a project based product that is ‘secure’ and can be shared. So it’s more focussed than a Wiki, and a little cleaner, but a Wiki could easily be adapted to work this way.
