Gliffy.com - Diagram and draw in your web browser

http://gliffy.com/

Another web 2.0 app that looks like a neat concept. I haven't played with it yet - but at least it's not another google maps meets flickr meets craigs list mashup.

My favorite diagraming tool is still Graphviz (aka dot). Graphiv is a very clever language that allows you to describe diagrams in a terse format and it renders them automagically. It's really handy for turing structured data (like database tables, or workflow descriptions) into a picture.

But when it comes to interactive tools, I don't yet have a favorite. I'd love it if a lightweight web app could fill the need.
