guys, we should definitely use this online tool to ask questions. it seems really useful to our mailinglist !

Pastebins have become an important part of sharing code with colleagues. Sites such as <a href="http://pastebin.com/">Pastebin</a> & <a href="http://pastie.org/">Pastie.org</a> are extremely popular because they’re easy to use and very effective in letting people compare notes on source code, especially in a support setting.
<a href="http://remysharp.com">Remy Sharp</a> wanted to take <a href="http://remysharp.com/2008/10/06/js-bin-for-collaborative-javascript-debugging/">the pastebin concept a step further</a>, past the static posting of code. His idea, which he tossed around for 6 months, finally came to fruition in the form of JS Bin, a new pastebin site with a twist:
<blockquote>JS Bin is a form of paste bin, but with a twist. It allows you to also include the HTML and CSS to provide context to your pasty. As such, it means you can actually run the JavaScript and pass this on to a colleague to help to debug.
</blockquote>
This is a great idea as it lets you troubleshoot your code while seeing immediate results. The feature list is well thought out as well.
<ul>
<li>Save private snippet</li>
<li>Remote Ajax debugging</li>
<li>Snippet URLs run entirely on their own (i.e. without the JS Bin framework around them)</li>
<li>Support to quickly inject major JS libraries including jQuery, jQuery UI, Prototype, Scriptaculous, Dojo, MooTools & YUI</li>
<li>Saves state within the open window (i.e. refresh and the code doesn’t reset)</li>
</ul>
The ability to inject many of the popular JavaScript libraries is especially important and I would highly recommend individual project teams to contact Remy <em><strong>directly</strong></em> to have their libs included.
To give this a run, I’d suggest going to the <a href="http://jsbin.com/">JS Bin site</a> and putting it through its paces. In addition, Remy has produced two videos which go into detail on how to leverage JS Bin:
