Question time at the end, informal questions during!

is a structured, recursive process where two or more people work together toward a common goal—typically an intellectual endeavor that is creative in nature—by sharing knowledge, learning and building consensus. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaboration) interaction among people, to achieve common goals without the exchange of goods and services (InfoTech Research Group – Collaboration Tools Revisted In a Web 2.0 world

Synchronous collaboration – voice (VOIP, Skype, etc.) that allows for instant questioning and quick resolution of issues Asynchronous collaboration – messaging (forums, email, SMS) that allows for people in different time zones to work when convenient

Distance 2 or more creators working on distant (2 feet or 2,000 miles) computers Same platform – Google Docs, Blog software, email (not very 2.0…)

Asynchronous Allow people to work in their own time zone at their own time Common software (or site) that all participants agree to use

Cloud- John Dvorak (in Cranky Geeks web show) once said it was named the “cloud” because nobody actually knows how anything beyond their network connection actually works. Backup storage – clouds don’t seem stable or permanent – use your own computer to backup as well!

Backing up “in the cloud” is a good idea, even if you are collaborating with yourself!

Makes a case for allowing use of Facebook, MySpace, etc. at work – blending of social and professional “networking” Avoids bureaucracy! Offers time-sensitive channels or “whenever” channels of communication – whatever is needed.

Team scheduling Reusable data - many ways to add data easily! Scheduling services

Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=8449172630 – GTD planning/organizing for FB Plan trips Plan moving projects Start a business Plan weddings/events Organize sports teams MyOffice – groupware on FB - http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=20196811016 MySpace has a new API for apps on it’s platform – too new to determine if there will be anything like FB’s tools

For: feature in del.icio.us – send suggested links to other del.icio.us accounts Mag.nol.ia – similar to del.icio.us Collaborative tagging – choosing (top down) tags to use in all services (not just bookmarking services) – give you “group” tag clouds to help users understand the relationships between concepts in your projects.

Docs – Ajax (not as many features) - Gears: the ability to save document spaces on your computer (while flying…) and re-connect after you are back on the ‘net – without downloading a copy of the doc and remembering to upload later Thinkfree – Java (laggy)

Grou.ps – forums, wikis, maps, photo galleries, feed aggregator, etc.

Digitization project – images from all over the state, country in one repository Training day – get trainers, participants together (wikis for conferences – excellent idea!) Shelf moving – organize labor in easily accessible and easily editable calendar, organize layout in documents Research project – set due dates, share citations, create forums for discussion of problems, create final reports
