Real time collaboration on the web using EtherPad

Has anyone tried out EtherPad in the classroom, could be a lot of fun! Have a go on my example. Just click on "edit name/colour" next to the unnamed person in the right hand toolbar to start adding your adjectives, which will highlight in a different colour showing your contribution. Add your ideas for a collaborative project. Up to 8 people can collaborate at any one time.

If you start your own EtherPad, you can collaborate with others simply by sharing the "Share this URL" info at the top of the EtherPad screen or invite others via email.
