Create Visio like Diagrams in your web browser

Filed under: Computer Software,Interesting Sites,Knowledgebase,Tech Related — Suramya @ 11:23 PM

This is a really cool flash application that allows you to create Visio like diagrams using flash. I tried it out and found the system to be pretty responsive. It allows you to share the documents you create for collaborative editing and if you like what you have you can export it as image files (jpg, png) or as SVG files that can be imported into Visio.

I like the idea and will probably use it for personal stuff, however I don’t think I would use it if I ever had to design some sensitive/confidential system layout. I searched for a privacy policy but couldn’t find any so don’t know what level of privacy are they offering. Without a privacy policy they can do whatever they want with your data.. Not saying that they will, just that they can.

Thanks to Adam Fields (weblog) for the link.

  1. For what it’s worth, I contacted them about the privacy policy/TOS, and they’re working on it. I gave them some good input on what I’d like to see with respect to confidentiality of data.

  2. Adam,
    Thanks for the update. Their having a good privacy policy would go a long way in making people more comfortable with using their service so lets hope they create a good privacy policy and make it public soon.

  4. Debi,
    You are welcome. But I find it interesting that you are replying to a post thats more than a year old to tell me to check back soon for the privacy policy… I think you should have waited till you had a privacy policy before resurrecting such an old post…
