Whiteboard
Whiteboard is an indispensable tool for collaboration specially in real-time. Combining it with voip particularly teleconference and you have a trully collaborative tool at your disposal.
Scriblink and Skrbl are two online whiteboards that’s fast and easy way to start with. No registration needed, at least, for public whiteboards. In just few seconds you’re up and running.
As mentioned earlier teleconference is one major factor should be considered and that’s where Scriblink stays ahead of Skrbl. Not only it has a teleconference but a chat system well integrated to go hand in hand with your whiteboard.

Whiteboard+Teleconference+Chat
Now that’s where Vyew comes in and but without excluding Scriblink. If a basic whiteboard is not enough for you then nothing beats Vyew.
Vyew is more than just a whiteboard, a comprehensive collaborative tool. The list of features or possibilities you can do with it is quite long to enumerate here. Comparing the screenshots of both will already give you an idea.

WEB 2.0
Basically i prefer Scriblink as it have the basics needed specially its teleconference. But it lacks widget to embed.
As far as this site is concern that’s one thing needed to able to accomplish in making a mashup of widgets to show the amazing possibilities you can accomplish with WEB 2.0 and at that without installing anything but merely using your plain old browser.
Vyew provides a widget though the whiteboard is read-only but still its enough to totally WEB 2.0-enabled this site.
One limitation, the teleconference of Vyew as with Sriblink is limited to US users only as the access number provided is only available in US unless you’re willing to incur international call charges.
If you haven’t notice, this site is VOIP-ready courtesy of yackpack. So with yackpack widget even without access to Vyew US number, non-US guests can able to teleconference.

With Vyew, YackPack and Meebo’s private messaging makes this site a truly WEB 2.0-enabled site.
A site you can collaborate with anyone, anytime, anyway and anywhere without installing anything and buying any gadgets
Take a look at WhiteBoard page.

Note:
It will really awesome and more compelling if SIP is part of their teleconference as Talkshoe did with theirs.
