yUML - Create and Share Simple UML Diagrams in Your Blogs, Wikis, Forums, Bug-Trackers, and eMails
http://yuml.me/

yUML is an online tool for creating and publishing simple UML diagrams. It's makes it really easy for you to: a) Embed UML diagrams in blogs, emails and wikis; b) Post UML diagrams in forums and blog comments; c) Use directly within your web based bug tracking tool; and d) Copy and paste UML diagrams into MS Word documents and Powerpoint presentations. yUML saves you time. It's designed to for those that like to create small UML diagrams and sketches. Without yUML, creating a UML diagram might involve loading up a UML tool, creating a diagram, giving it a name, fiddling with layout, exporting it to bitmap, and then uploading it online somewhere. yUML doesn't make you do any of that. yUML is designed for light, back-of-napkin style UML usage. This won't suite every project. Desktop tools tend to offer more control over layout, more diagram types, fuller support for the UML specification etc.UML is a particular way of drawing diagrams. It stands for Unified Modelling Langage. UML is often used by business analysts and software developers. Schools often teach it as part of IT and software courses. If you read a lot of software text books or articles, you'll probably have seen quite a lot of UML. This has been added to the tols section of Research Resources Subject Tracerâ„¢ Information Blog.
