I’ll be honest. This scares the bejeebers out of me:
Wannaspell.com is a live whiteboard in which anyone can move magnetic letters around to spell out words, etc. Lets see how many times the word “Digg” can be spelled out in a room! This is the coolest site I’ve seen all day.
The live whiteboard doesn’t scare me. What scares me is “coolest site I’ve seen all day” is considered the high bar.
This means it probably isn’t as cool the next day.
Websites aren’t the only ones affected by this.
The Casual Fridays blog is about business in blue jeans. It's about doing the REAL hard work of today. Pausing, thinking and asking the questions others won't ask.

[…] Wannateam? Thanks to DUST!N for drawing my attention to this site, an online whiteboard where people can move letters around. After a mind-numbing few minutes of watching this insanity, it occurred to me that this a perfect example of art immitating life. The process reminds me of how we often behave in meetings and on project teams: […]
