Jottit: Quickest way to making a website

It does not get simpler than this for creating a website; put in some text in the textbox, click “Create a page” and you are done. If you want to name your site, go to settings, and set a site address. If you are the possessive kind, claim the site, and you get more control of keeping the site private, public or open. Kind of like a wiki, but way simpler. If this takes off, look for some very fresh and new collaborative websites.
