Stixy

Published June 21, 2012 by Eric Pamintuan

“Stixy” is an easy to use, FREE, virtual online white board! I recently found it while searching for an online resource to help make group collaboration easier. With Stixy, you simply create the virtual white board by adding “drag and drop” Notes, Photos, Documents or Todo items, then share access to the Stixy board with all group members via an email invitation.

Plus, users have the option of creating multiple Stixy boards for different projects that involve different groups.
