Plemp!
Create your own online pile of junk! Plemp allows you to upload/put stuff on a single canvas, for sharing, collaging or any purpose you can think of.
Features
- Adding content by means of typing/pasting text
- Uploading of image/music/video/code/text files
- (Re)arranging of the files (not yet persistent cross sessions)
- Some visual effects for eye candy purposes
- Syntax highlighting of source code files
The following feature is planned but has not been ported from the previous Camping/Ruby application yet:
- Distributed management of the arrangement, i.e. everybody viewing the Plemp page will (with some delay) see the same arrangement
