Comiqs sounded really interesting; I could see myself using it in English classes to help the kids understand story structure and sequencing. But alas, the website wasn't working any of the times I tried to look at it.
Writeboard was my second choice. It would be an excellent way to peer-review writing assignments without wasting paper on multiple drafts. It saves all versions of the document, so you can go back and see what has changed, which would be useful as a teacher because you could compare the students original document with the version their peer suggested changes on. And it keeps track of when the changes were made, so which might be insentive for students to work on the assignment the night before rather than minutes before class starts! Other bonuses include the fact that it's 100% free, works in most browsers, and is allows you to access your document from any computer with an internet connection. One flaw is that you currently can't import text from an external source into a writeboard, but it's pretty simple to just copy and paste it in.
