I wrote this in a previous post as well but I will write it here again because I think it's really useful.
EidoGoTweet:
Just recently found out this nice website called EidoGoTweet. Basically this site allows you to share kifus, josekis, and game variations easily without having to talk in terms of coordinates. Imagine you want to discuss a game with somebody on Facebook. Or you found out a super difficult tsumego and you want to ask your friends to solve. You can simply use this and show diagrams to each other easily.
So how to use this? It's very easy.
 |
| Inputting the game/variations |
See the board on the page? Just input the game/variation/joseki there. You can choose the size of the board and whose turn it is to play. Multiple variations will also be recorded, as long as you click the back button instead of the del button. So just enter as many variations as you want.
 |
| Use back button to go back and input additional variations. |
 |
| Use "DEL" button to delete moves. |
 |
| Game tree is shown here. |
After you are done, scroll down and click the "Get URL" button. And just copy and paste the URL to whomever you want to show the variation to. He/she will see it in exactly the same way as you input, and after that he/she can input some new variations and send it back to you.
 |
| Click "Get URL" button and copy and paste the URL to show your friends! |
You can also use SGF files instead of inputting directly on the website. Open the SGF file using notepad(textedit on Mac). Copy and paste everything on the notepad into the space at the bottom of the site and click the "Load SGF" button. The game will be loaded exactly as it is in the SGF file. After that you can input additional variations or just "Get URL" and send it directly.

| Open the SGF file in notepad/textedit. Copy everything inside the file. |
 |
| Paste into the space here. Click "Load SGF". Everything in the SGF will appear magially on the board. :) |
Useful? I personally think it's very useful. :)
