RightSignature heralds the annihaltion of the lowly pen as you no longer need to physically sign contracts and other legal documents thanks to this clever solution.

Many businesses needs to sign contracts on a very regular basis. Ever more, contracts are delivered by email in order to bypass the inefficient and slow postal system. With that logic in mind, what better possible solution could there be to complete digital distribution of contracts than to be able to sign and send documents completely digitally?

This is a solution that we’ve all been waiting for - ever since the first contract was PDF’d and sent by email. A simple process and a useful interface sets the grounds for a killer solution.

The biggest problem that I see with RightSignature is that for it to really work, you need to get both parties on board - great if you’re an early adopter, but what if y the other party is a stalwart for the fountain pen?

Twitter is text. Podcasts are audio. Twitter and the people that love it are flexible, but will Tweetmic bend the relationship just too far?
