76. Padlet / Wallwisher

When I first began this blog I wrote about Wallwisher. In the time since that post Wallwisher has re-branded itself as Padlet and added a few more features.

Padlet is a collaborative Web 2.0 tool that  allows an author to create a wall and the users to create sticky notes to add to the wall. The best feature of this is that  multiple computers can be logged onto the same wall, all collaborating together.

The new interface on the wall itself is a great new feature. Each person leaving a comment has a space to write their name, so no more untitled anonymous users. In the dialogue box the author of the comment can add a web cam photo, up loaded files or add a web link. This interface look impressive.

Most of these the othert changes are found on the Share/ Export tab on the side of the wall. Padlet have increased the options. The export options are really useful especially the spreadsheets of  responses on the wall.
Offering html code to embed in blogs and wikis, and the ready made QR code linking to the wall  are new.
