I never cease to be amazed by how the Internet enables me to work with people all over the world in new ways. Many of the early online collaboration tools were complicated and slow, but these days they’re so streamlined and simple that we don’t even realize that we’re using them. Everything on the Internet seems to be collaborative at this point in time, but when a certain need arises, it’s good to be aware of specific tools that can be used to get the job done. For example, if you ever need to share and discuss a document, try Show Document.

To begin a session, just select a file to upload and launch it. There are three different ways that you can invite others to collaborate with you depending on what works best at the time. Once you’re all in the same place, you’ll have tools like a pen and a highlighter that can be used to make notes on the document. A chat window is even available so that you can discuss what’s being viewed. Show Document also offers you a whiteboard, and when you’re finished, the work can be saved to a PDF file.
