//DoingText// is a web based text collaboration tool. It lets you write, comment, share and review any texts. No login required. doingText is quick, easy, simple and clean. People can’t complain about having to register or learn or install new software to collaborate in your documents, since registration isn’t required (even by a document creator) and there’s virtually nothing to learn or install. doingText is the best thing I’ve come across for working with other writers and editors quickly on the fly, and the free version suits my simple needs quite nicely. || ||
