Online Collaboration Tools

ReadWriteWeb has a good post on online collaboration:
The Online Collaboration Tools Guide
Topics include:
Onine Editors
Synchronization Services
Sharing and Collaboration Spaces
Ad Hoc Simultaneous Collaboration
This is a hot topic as we explore the emerging ways we can work together online and be more collaborative. This post is a good start on some of the key tools in this space.
This is a good way to get staff to work on these tools and learn them before introducing them into community or learning environments. Another good place to practice is in our many associations and committees in library land.

    Another MSFT service that was left off this list is Office Live Workspace. It is a combination of online file storage and collaboration tools for up to 100 people per Workspace and can be easily integrated into MS Office.

  2. Hi Stephen,
    On going through his blog felt like you would be interested to know more about different Collaboration tools. Felt like saying about one more tool called “Collaber”.
    Collaber is a collaboration tool similar to Microsoft Groove. It allows user to create workspace and share among other users. There are many tools like files tool to share files, task tools to manage tasks, Discussion and polls tool to discuss matters and so on. Collaber have different packages to meet the requirement of different user groups, which includes one free plan as well.
    The features that proves collaber batter than other similar products are:
    1. Compatible with all platforms(Linux, Windows, Mac and Web). This gives user the flexibility of accessing their data anywhere.
    2. Price at just 10% of that of similar products available in market.
    3. Backup tool, it is similar to restore point in windows xp.
    4. Works in offline mode, you can work even when you are offline and all your changes will be shared among your team members when you will be connected to server.
