I like to draw -- well, scribble -- while working with other people; that works well in my office, where I have a huge whiteboard. But if the other people are on the other end of a phone line, it's not so good.
I played with skrbl.com, which isn't bad (though I couldn't make it work with Safari or Chrome), but it's not ideal. What is?
(Oh...and I need to be able to work with people who aren't using Windows.)
Personally, I prefer MSPaint ;)
When working with someone remotely, though, pretty much any conference tool (NetMeeting, web-based conference apps, or even MSN Messenger) all typically have whiteboard capabilities.

MS SharedView is quite cool, although perhaps a bit overkill if you just want whiteboard.
@Kevin -- thanks. I've used those tools, but they are half-duplex with a lot of overhead in handing off control (at least when I've used them). Skrbl was much more fluid, closer to having two people working at the same whiteboard at the same time.
Check out ZoomIt. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897434.aspx
In addition to magnifying (and letting you annotate) the screen,you can also simply annotate the screen without magnifcation. When teaching .NET, it's great to be able to literally turn the code or the UI into a whiteboard and annotate over it. It's also nice to use ZoomIt over PowerPoints. Used in conjunction with SnagIt, it's also easy to save these "whiteboards."
Someone here recommended the Bamboo stylus to me and it works great (I use the medium sized one) with ZoomIt.
Having said all that, I didn't know about Skrbl and am adding it to my kitbag! Thanks for that.

If you don't care about the actual drawing part then http://etherpad.com is quite amazing -- totally realtime, dirt simple collaborative editing. Far superior to, say, google docs. They're in closed beta now but you can try one out here: http://etherpad.com/UGqfsZQxRH
The only one I have used is included with the excelent base camp from 37Signals.

I use it every week....
Online webconferencing with DimDim is great. They've a whiteboard tool as well.
Another one which comes to mind is Adobe Connect, but it's not free.

Etherpad was bought by Google and you can now collaborate on Google Drawings, which looks pretty good.
