October 11th, 2008
When you think of web 2.0 you may not think about drawing applications, but just as music and search engines have found new life and new use on the web, so have web based drawing tools. From the large desktop based drawing programs to the paint programs that came with the operating system, there are now online versions that allow users to create their own drawings from any place at any time.

Online drawing programs come in all varieties and functions, but sometimes you just want to send something quick to a friend or colleague. For that there is Imagination Cubed, a drawing tool and whiteboard offered by General Electric. Free and simple to use, Imagination Cubed is an online drawing application that records your drawing progress for playback. 
Most drawing applications require the ability to draw, but there are times when you want to create something more abstract, say a pattern of colors or simple lines. For that one of the drawing applications that is based on the user's ability to draw may not be the best choice, and you may want to use an unconventional drawing program that has tools to let you create the image you like. If you are looking to generate something more abstract, Bomomo, the online drawing application has a range of tools to help you create what you like. With Bomomo there is no paintbrush or pen - you begin with a blank canvas and a set of tools that generate different patterns. 
The internet has given the opportunity to reach new heights in productivity, so why shouldn't we also look to it as a tool for our graphic needs? Aviary is one such application, letting users create their own works from originals or scratch. To call it a web-based drawing program is to label it poorly - Aviary is a online graphics tool, one that soon may give Adobe a run for its money.
