Sync.in

         Sync.in is a website for people to work collaboratively. The basic panel is just like a chatting room. But believe or not, several users can type in at the same time on different line, and each of them can see the progress of other users simultaneously. Each user's texts are in different colors so that it is very easy to catch other's progress. And the editing history is recorded all the time.
