Sophie, Squeak, Croquet
There seems to be more and more instances of platforms appearing which raise the level at which people can create, manipulate and share rich content in a rich context.
Sophie appears to be another interesting entry, in addition to Croquet and the etoys work in Squeak.

TVShows

Firedoodle - persistent whiteboard in your browser
Nice tool, nice example of using Firefox as a platform, and nice example of how small ideas are proliferating: Firedoodle …
is a Firefox Add-On that allows you to mark up any page as if it was projected onto a white board. You can download the plugin at Firedoodle.com and if you register an account, any highlights you created can be saved (and later shared).(kudos to Julie for this)
