TheCoccinella.org – Chat And Draw With Ease

Sometimes, words can’t express what you feel. If you need an image to tell someone what you’re feeling, then you should see what you can do with Coccinella. You’ll be able to download this cross-platform chat client from Thecoccinella.org. Once you set it up, you’ll be able to configure all your Jabber/XMPP (Google Talk comes to mind) accounts on it. The key feature is the fact that the service has a build in whiteboard. This will allow you to draw with your mouse and let your friends see it. Windows Live Messenger has a similar feature, but this one has a lot more editing options. Besides the drawing feature, the client supports the basic features of any other instant messaging client. The client is open-sourced, so all you tech savvy users out there can customize it to fit your needs. If you come across a major breakthrough, you can report it through the site’s hosted forums.

“Coccinella is a free and open-source cross-platform chat client with a built-in whiteboard for improved collaboration with other people.”

The whiteboard feature is really nice. It should allow people to better express themselves. It makes it stand out from the rest.

Doesn’t MSN have something similar? Can people draw on the whiteboard at the same as the person that’s chatting with them?
