Got a paper due and not confident in your editing skills? Notapipe, we recently discovered, is a web service that allows you to upload a draft or document to be edited by multiple users in real time.   The document can be accessed anywhere there is an internet connection and the program is compatible with web browsers for both PCs and Macs.  Just think what this means for group projects!  Every connected user can edit text, and changes are updated for everyone.  Revisions to the document can be saved at anytime and there is no limit to the number of modifications that you can make.  Students working in a collaborative atmosphere should find this much easier than making photocopies and marking up changes in red pen.

As far as pricing goes, Notapipe has a free plan option, however, it is a bit limited.  To get a SSL connection (a secure connection) one must pay for the premium plan which is around 20 USD.

Recap:

- Cool service that allows for a document to be edited by various people.
- Can see changes made in real time.
- Access the the document anywhere there is internet.
- Free, basic and premium plans
- Secure connection can only be achieved through premium plan
- Not sure if the good old eraser and white out still sell, but who needs them?
