Concept Share: visual collaboration

cslogo.gifConcept Share went live today, and is another example of visual collaboration tools that is springing up.

The focus is on visual, with the ability to upload files or urls for web pages, with future plans for uploading video. A team can use and compare visual images, say for website development or some other project that is visual in nature, and discuss. The application is ajax heavy, which allows a greater interactive nature.

The basic account is free, and with this comes restrictions. For example, you cannot add notes or edit on a visual image, somewhat restricting functionality. The chat function appears to be restricted, which doesn't give the user an opportunity to wean onto the product, before considering upgrading their plan.

That said, even with a free account focused on solo working, it has its benefits, including concepts or designs at a central point in an ajax supported environment. I've just tried it for a website I'm trying to develop, and always losing the urls of designs that I like.

There is future plans to include uploading videos, but due to current storage limits, its usefulness would be restricted, unless one had a large bank account and/or the ability to store such files externally and to be temporarily imported or displayed into the application.

I've not upgraded, thus not in a position to comment on paid accounts. However, if you do intend to go down this route, you will be interested in:

Hey alison,

just found this great post. Thanks! The only restricted functionality on the service is on the number of workspaces, account admins, SSL, and custom branding.

IF you have any questions give me a shout ...i can bring you in to our labs project which is allowing users to be part of the new tools coming down the pipe.

cheers
scott
