WallWisher- Post a Message

What is WALLWISHER?     http://www.wallwisher.com/
Wallwisher is an Internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common topic easily.

A wall is basically the 'web page' where people actually post messages.

What if I just want a private wall?
Yes, you can set a wall to be private. In that case only you can see or add notes to the wall. Ideal for personal stuff like things-to-do.
Do I need to sign up to make a wall?
No you don’t need to. You can start building a wall straight away. We will, however, need your email address. A temporary account will be created for you using your email address so that you can come back and make changes to the wall. You can use this account for all your subsequent visits to this site, or if you dislike us so much, keep using the site as a stranger.

Do people need an account to post on a wall?    No

How much does it cost?   FREE

Note:   Some other online sticky note services worth exploring are Lino It, Stixy, Spaaze, and Postica. However, these services require all users to create an account before they can post sticky notes.
