Primary Wall - Sticky Notes

I am a fan of sticky notes for classroom use ever since Wallwisher arrived. Wallwisher has been a bit inconsistent lately and now there is Primary Wall. You don't need to join up, however, you get more features if you do, such as, changing the background and font.
There are several fonts and backgrounds to choose from.
You are able to set levels of security - who has access?
You can sort notes.
You can search for notes using keywords.
You can give your class access through a URL.
You can embed into your blog / wiki, if you register.
This is a quick, easy way to gather information, such as, questions on a topic, student assessment, points of view. The bonus of Primary Wall is you can then send the notes to Wordle to be collated.
