The document discusses and compares three collaboration tools: Freenet, ooVoo, and Google Docs. Freenet allows for peer-to-peer information sharing anonymously but has slow transfers and charges for breaking rules. OoVoo enables free video chatting through a web browser but limits group calls without payment. Google Docs permits free online document creation and sharing from any computer but lacks some features of other programs and access relies on server availability. Overall, the document argues that web-based collaboration tools are increasingly important and useful in both education and business.
