Weaknesses:

 * limited control over user capabilities

Opportunities:

 * easy sharing of ideas for projects between groups

**Threats**:

 * Lack of user identification could lead to lots of inappropriate content. (free version)
 * Without a paid account, exploitation of the site poses a real problem

=Classroom Ideas:= I think there would be numerous ways this site could be used in a class.
 * It could serve as a digital feedback/suggestion board for teachers to solicit feedback from students.
 * Teacher's could use it as a graphic organizer during lessons as a brainstorming tool.
 * Teacher's could use it as a way to trade ideas with other teachers or to provide links.
 * It could simply be used as a digital reminder board for assignments.
