I think it’s cool that real-time shared editing is catching on, on the web. As others before me have pointed out, the algorithms behind this are neither secret nor black magic. Earlier this year, I have given a tech talk at Google on this very topic
http://www.yout...h?v=GfeUCT-tRJQ

There is also a screencast on vimeo, showcasing the real-time shared editing work I did for Eclipse
http://www.vimeo.com/1195398

Despite me thinking, that their webified application is interesting and will serve as a handy tool, I must admit, I don’t quite understand the reasoning behind backing something like this.

It shouldn’t take more than a couple of days for either Google (or MS) to implement this feature for Google Docs (respectively whatever MS has online) and by that make any such effort by external companies more or less worthless.

I do understand that such reasoning should not keep anyone from playing around with/implementing something like this on their own. I just don’t think it warrants the assumption that this could serve as a fundamental differentiator for a long time.

Just viewed the words “changes are seen live by everyone else” and stopped reading. That’s it. Brilliant. All I can say is, “I am available and willing to help out.” Damn. It is about time! Kudos to the Etherpad team.

[...] About us Etherpad Tracks Group Editing or Coding with Colors [Online Documents] Thursday, November 20th, 2008 @ 1:00 pm | Author: admin Etherpad, a collaborative-minded text editor forged by a group of ex-Google employees, focuses on making documents live and easy to collaborate on. That means that, at this point, the interface is pretty much straight text on numbered lines, but two or more people can work on a document in real time using a single URL to share, with different colors highlighting their work, a chat function for explanation, and revision-minded saving. For JavaScript coders and teams, there’s also a syntax highlighting function, and, well, that’s about it. If you, like many Lifehacker readers, dig the advanced but back-to-basics style of Notepad++, Etherpad might be right up your alley. No sign-up required. Etherpad [via TechCrunch] [...]
