Hey! I'm Jason, the guy that wrote Twiddla. Yesterday will go down as a pretty good day! We got a little over 1000 signups and tons of great feedback.
Tichy, the drawing is done with a Canvas tag and the IECanvas hack to get it to work in IE. Drawing with DHTML is really nothing new, but until recently you had to do it with tons of colored DIV tags. SVG and Canvas make life a lot easier for something like this.
yaacovtp, Thus far it seems the number one use case for this thing is to facilitate the drawing of balls onto things. Followed by tic tac toe. Followed by work. I bet it will become a bit more useful once we fix some of the major issues people found yesterday, and add some new features to make it more suited to its intended task of team collaboration.
Anyway, I'd encourage folks to check back in a few weeks to see if we've made any progress. Thanks again for all the great feedback!
