hey john and kath-

thanks for the responses!

john- that project is fantastic. it was very easy to dive into. it has a 
lot of the characteristics i'm thinking about.

kath- upstage definitely touches on what I'm thinking about as well. 
google docs is another project that comes to mind that allows for 
real-time editing and remote collaboration on projects (usually text, 
but images and forms as well).

another site that isn't sound-based but does something similar is 
<http://gifpumper.com/>. users can collaborate on a canvas-like surface 
in the browser on animated gif collages. doing something with sound 
might be a bit more difficult, given that it isn't inherently a "visual 
object" that can be manipulated in that kind of way (or maybe there is a 
visualization of sound that is?).

i'm wondering if there could be some kind of space where you'd upload 
sound "objects" from wherever you are, and manipulate them with a small 
set of tools (trimming, splicing and mixing), in real time.

for now, any more examples of online communities that allow you to share 
sounds with other people would be great to hear about!

thanks in advance again.
