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 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 tool for collaborating online. It works like a whiteboard allowing you to draw on it. Also includes basic text tools and some shapes to create things like flowcharts. And allows you to import images that can then be annotated. Handy site.

A site that lets you set up a "private group" for blogging and discussion. Looks simple and seems pretty clean. Good alternative for famil or other small groups that just want to talk among themselves.

communication sharing web service

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!!

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.
