Better Than Google Docs - Etherpad Alternatives

http://typewith.me/ - Go ahead, try it. Send the link to your closest friends and colleagues. Collaborate with just about anybody, anytime. Don't just take my word for it. No registration required, no subscriptions to maintain. It's ad hoc team document creation at its finest - based on open source software (from a service that may disappear at any moment now that Google's acquired it for use with Google Wave).

And if you happen to catch anybody saying "It's like Google Wave" in the comments here, feel free to call them a DUMBASS - because Google Wave: (a) requires registration, and (b) isn't as simple for everybody to use for simple document collaboration.

i wonder if this can be used in some way for say mozilla dev. or allies and help implement feature faster with say ecmascript5 .or understand ecmascript 5 full potential since its used about 20% of its potential (yes most ecmascript coder are noob.)
