For a variety of professionals, from designers to executives, the value of a good drawing and wireframing tool cannot be overstated.

Whether they're used for producing user interface mock-ups or designing complex workflows and org charts, products like Omnigraffle, Mockingbird and literally dozens of others are available for quickly and efficiently creating such documents.

Diagram makers, rejoice. Today, Gliffy has released the newest version of their popular SaaS tool, and it's got a whole new look.

Now, Gliffy and other Web-based offerings may not have really killed desktop options like Visio and Omnigraffle yet, but since its unveiling several years ago, it has made some big strides and captured a respectable chunk of the market.

"I wish I could make this flowchart look better" is a common complaint that pops up around ReadWriteWeb - and throughout offices around the world.
