Imagination Cubed

Imagination CubedOnline collaboration is fun, but it's sometimes hard to "talk through" an idea over the phone without a way to visually display it.

GE has created an online whiteboard for instantaneous screen-sharing without the need to register or create an account. Also, you don't have to wait for your friends to register either, as you can just email them to join your session.

The tool allows you to add text, change the background, add shapes, lines and stamps - it's wonderful in it's simplicity.

And when you're finished creating your online artwork (or a diagram for class), all is not lost- you can print, save, or send.

As lifehacker mentioned in their post, this site would be awesome if you have a tablet PC- as you have that whole pen functionality.

The GE Imagination Market – Giving “Imagination at Work” a whole new meaning

Ever wonder what your ideas are worth?  GE is attempting to find out just that.  Welcome to the GE Imagination Market, the stock market of innovation powered by the new ideas of regular GE employees from around the world.  How does it work?  Step one is to get a good idea.  After that, the rest is easy!  Just log into the GE Imagination Market and submit your idea… providing a detailed description, some supporting material, and a justification of why it makes sense to do.  GE’s Greenlight innovation team will then review your idea and, if they like it, will release it into the market where people buy and sell it as if it were a stock.  It’s a forum for discussion and a platform for driving business model innovation throughout the GE businesses.
