Along with collaboration Stixy also provides online file sharing.<\/p>\n<p>Stixy is an online bulletin board application that features <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stixy.com\/guest\/19100\">Stixyboard<\/a>, a free-form drag \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcn drop bulletin board. Stixyboard is highly flexible and shareable web bulletin boards. You can invite more users to collaborate on your Stixyboard.<\/p>\n<p>Stixyboard can be effectively used for multipurpose like creating a to-do list, planner, calendar, sharing photo album, sharing files and notes. These boards created can be utilized for individual or group purpose.<\/p>\n<p><u>Stixyboard Screen shot<\/u><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.benh.org\/techblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/stixy_screenshot.jpg\" alt=\"Stixyboard Screenshot\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Advantages<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Easy to use, this application can be operated easily by any level of computer user.<\/li>\n<li>Very rich GUI, the user interface is really amazing.<\/li>\n<li>Stixyboard can be either private or public (with or w\/o authentication)<\/li>\n<li>There is no limitation of Stixyboard currently that means you can share huge volume of files with your friends. They have only 10 MB per file limit on files.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Setbacks<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>No full screen support. For any rich Internet application full screen mode is required for desktop like operation.<\/li>\n<li>Question on scalability: I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure they much have designed the application with scalability in mind but there was a little question during my test initially. The application didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t respond and lost data when I was trying to collaborate a Stixyboard from two different systems at the same time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Improvements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Stixy would have a huge success if they can create a rich application for everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s daily use. I inferred following points would add more values to the Stixy, which is currently in beta.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stixy can support more content types including video and music.<\/li>\n<li>Stixy need to have a web-based drop zone to drop the files that need to be added to the Stixyboard.<\/li>\n<li>Stixy would need a preview tool for viewing documents, playing music and videos etc. Just for the shake of previewing a Stixyboard I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t prefer to download the entire content to my local.<\/li>\n<li>Stixy need to collaborate with other online services to create more sophisticated and rich application. My personal favorite would be adding <a href=\"http:\/\/www.picnik.com\/\">Picnik<\/a> for image editing.<\/li>\n<li>Stixy also need to syndicate the Stixyboard update so that users can keep track of their related Stixyboard.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Bottom-line, Stixy is currently in beta; I expect more functionality to be added to Stixy in near future to make it rich Internet application.<\/p>\n<p>Have you tried Stixy?
