Diagram in a gliffy

Don't have five hundred extra dollars to spare for diagramming software? I don't blame you. Gliffy is an online application that provides the tools necessary to create various types of diagrams, share and collaborate with others, and publish the finished product quickly and easily. It's like Google Docs meets Microsoft Visio.

The service boasts a comprehensive shape library with the ability to import your own images, revision control feature so all users are working on the same version, and enhanced multi-user management (for premium accounts).

Whether you are working on a SWOT analysis for your management class or drawing up technical layouts for engineering, this tool goes the distance. Watch the Demo here.

Thanks for reviewing Gliffy! We appreciate the attention. If you have symbol suggestions or feature ideas to make it more applicable for your work - let us know.
Best,

looks neat, but apparently it will not be free after a trial period and their website carefully avoids providing any pricing info (unless one registers). n.s.

It looks like there is a 'premium' level of service that costs money (after the 30-day trial), and a 'basic' level that is free.

Limitations of the 'basic' level include: all documents you create are public (anyone can see them), and anything you printout will have a Gliffy logo on it.

Why not suggest dia as a diagramming tool? It's multi-platform (Win/Mac/Lin) and open-source (free).

We believe the unique combination of diagramming with simultaneous video recording provides an efficient path to a deeper level of understanding of complex material.

Excellent - I have a store/back workshop design coming up soon and if it beats Visio it's well worth the investment. Thanks for the heads up.
