Being able to develop and use widgets on a whiteboard is quite a differentiating feature I think. I don't know of any AJAX based whiteboards doing this. Secondly, the application isn't just an AJAX app, it is based on SVG.

JSP/J2EE is used for several reasons that I won't get into:)

However creating a widget requires only Javascript.

Colabopad is a web based smartboard... the current focus is on educational applications. However you could create interactive games also, for instance it should be possible to create a simple chess or checkers implementation and 2D adventure games... Simply put:
