TypeWith.Me makes online collaboration a breeze



Just like Google Wave's real-time text editing features, TypeWith.Me is an online app that makes co-editing online a breeze, and easier too. Furthermore, you won't even need to register.
Getting started with this free app is as simple as clicking the New Document button on the site's home page. You're instantly dropped into an edit-ready page where you can start typing right away, or import an HTML, plain text, RTF, or Word document.

Each online document has its own unique URL you can share with others for real-time co-editing, and there's a small window for chatting on your edits. TypeWith.me helpfully assigns different colors to each author so you can easily track who's typed what, and the app instantly synchronizes as you type so changes appear in real time. When you're done, export your work to one of six file formats, including Word, PDF, and HTML.
