This is probably totally brain-dead, but the other day I needed to whip up a quick wireframe to capture the ideas from a meeting on the interface for providing usuage stats to podcasters that use PSU's iTunes U.
For some reason I ended up trying google docs, and produced what you see below as a slide in a presentation.
I really didn't want the software to get in my way, and I don't know how to use any kind of fancy vector-based drawing programs. This wasn't really that hard. My other option was drawing something on a sheet of paper and taking a picture of it with my iPhone.
After creating this slide, I realized I could create more slides to storyboard how a user might interact with the interface. Google docs allows me to share it and allow other developers and myself to create revisions. Not too bad. Probably not the best tool that could exist for this use. But it wasn't too hard, it was at hand, and most of us already use it.
