A service that attempts to help you contact people by order of priorty of all the protocols that they prefer being contacted by in order to coordinate meetings in meatspace or just ensure that they actually recieve your message. You add contacts with their email, sms, phone and IM addresses and order them so that if the first method tried doesn't work then the next method will be and so on. You receive notification when the contact has confirmed receipt of the message. Good for time-sensitive collaboration.

A service that lets you specify several timezones and view the current time for each. It also can create a "bookmark" to a specific point in time that can be shared with others to help coordinate scheduling meetings. Nice, simple, clean design and easy to use.

A collaboration tool that on the surface seems to be very similar to Basecamp with the addition of a calendar. Something to check out the next time I need to herd some cats. It balks at FF 2.0 though... A bit early to be requiring people to upgrade, I think.

A site similar to Ning in that you can create customizable social networks and have a single account to use across all of them (though you can have two profiles, a professional one and a social one). Aimed more at collaboration than socialization and professional networks than social networks. Would be great if you could also keep custom fields on group members.

A visualization of how productivity is increased for people who uses wikis for collaboration on documents instead of passing documents around in email. Something helpful for the presentation I'm putting together for educators and how Web 2.0 can benefit them.

A nice, simple tool for figuring out when a time is best for everyone to meet. Similar to a few other tools like Meet-O-Matic (http://meetomatic.com) or even Doodle (http://doodle.ch) but seems a little cleaner and easier to use.

A very interesting idea implmented as a FireFox plugin. It's a platform for being able to create views of a web page (shifts) for communication and collaboration about the content, adding to it or slicing and reorganizing it. There's also a facility for linking the page, shift or parts of a shift with other pages, shifts or parts of shifts to create a navigational trail, a different way to find information. Could be used as a tool for the semantic web, or as a platform to build other ways to communicate on top of the web as it exists today. Interesting offering!!

A wiki for educators on how to use social media as part of their curriculum. Nice set of links to tutorials for some of the useful tools like Del.icio.us, Diigo, Flickr, and Google Apps. Also something good to send to people who might not be clued in yet on what you can do collaboratively on the web.

I didn't realize there were so many interesting and useful services via Twitter. The TweetAnswers thing seems particularly useful for crowdsourcing if there are enough people using it.

Great speech by Clay Shirky on the evolution of society from passive consumers to active producers and sharers. He terms it as how we handle our "cognitive surplus" of free time that's not spent supporting ourselves (work). Thought provoking.
