Collaborate online with Octopz

Octopz is an online collaboration tool that launched at Web 2.0 last week. The tool allows up to 5 people to get together online and collaborate on projects.

Designed particularly with creative professionals in mind, Octopz allows users to mark-up photos and video within their system without downloading any software. For instance if you were decorating an apartment for someone across the country, or across the world for that matter you could upload a video or photos of what you have completed so far and your client could access it and write literally on your video changes they would like to have made.

The tool is really ideal for people like graphic designers and video producers who may be working on something for someone far away. Allowing users to mark-up the video, graphics, or photos makes it easy to see exactly what changes your client wants to be made without any confusion.

The tool also has a built-in text messaging, VoIP and webcam support so everyone working on a project can get together for in what ever way is best for them. You can try it out for free for 14 days. After that Octopus runs $99/mo which is a pretty hefty price but could be worth it if you collaborate often with people far away.
