Online flowchart tools
It never ceases to amaze me how much my blog, and now Twitter, have turned into quasi-personal content management systems. CMS might be too strong in this instance, but I find myself continually going back to my blog and twitter stream to find a URL or some nugget of information that I forget, but becomes relevant months or years later.
With that being said, I had to work on a flowchart recently. In the past I used Omnigraffle, but it was tedious to re-apply for a demo license each time I wanted to use it. So I hit the web and a colleague up for some ideas.
Webspiration - this is what I’m currently using for my project. My students found this over the summer and used it for a web design project. Not bad, but no features to export to my knowledge, only print. Very similar to Google Docs in that you can invite collaborators, track changes, see change logs and other nice collaborative features.
Gliffy - Suggested by the Frenchman, I also used this in the past. I probably should have stuck with this for my recent project, but I wanted to give other tools a shot.
SlickPlan - I do not have any experience with SlickPlan, but it appears to be made by web designers, for web designers. Worth checking out.
