“But of course it needs to be super simple to use, needs to work for users behind NAT, and it would help the adoption if people without the dedicated application could still get a peek of what goes on via snapshots provided over http.”
That’s the idea. My problem is, my salesman and showmanship is probably not up to snuff. I’m not sure I’m expressing myself clearly, and eloquently enough. I’m very good at writing scientifically, but not so good at flowery prose, or UI mockups.

“Chatboard in its default configuration should be nothing more than a window that sits at your desktop level. If you find something you think your friends would enjoy seeing, drag it in - it’ll appear in all of your friends’ windows. The “something” you drag in can be a movie, a flash game, a website, a song, a PDF, a picture, text, whatever. Or, it can be a collaborative drawing or text - that’s the whiteboard part. Which, as I said, is a secondary goal.”
I’ve been trying to get this across, but evidently, I’m not succeeding at that. The shared space can share ANYTHING that the machine can handle. All I had in mind for the tool was a collaborative space for anybody to use, for whichever task they may have. I’ve never intended the whiteboard space to be uber-featured- a minimalist toolset at best (see previous post regarding mac-draw style tools).
