It works the same way (including pasting MathML), I've no idea if it can handle formulas of the same level of complexity, but it's a free option if you have Win7 already: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows7/Use-Math-Input-Panel-to-write-and-correct-math-equations There’s also something similar built into Windows 7 – the Math Input Panel.

I have been using it for at least 4 years and I have a Premium Membership. Ever since I incorporated VSC my students no long complain about studying spelling. Some of their favorite activities are <a href="http://www.spellingcity.com/analogies.html" rel="nofollow">analogies</a>, <a href="http://www.spellingcity.com/unscramble.html" rel="nofollow">unscramble</a> and <a href="http://www.spellingcity.com/Games/sentence-unscramble.html" rel="nofollow">sentence unscramble</a>. Personally, I like that fact that all my spelling lists are saved online and that I can monitor and assign different activities to students. I am a huge VocabularySpellingCity fan.

I've got people in multiple locations and I want them all to see the same wall, and preferably to also be able to add to it. I like the look and feel of this one much more than wallwisher.
