The materials I was writing for CXO magazine have made it to print (and screen).  An "ask the expert" article describes how online collaboration tools and approaches are affecting our work at Forum One.  We have found ourselves using more tools in more settings and becoming more reliant on them.

In an editorial, "The collaboration revolution is coming here," I argue that we are in the beginning of the "collaboration revolution".  The thesis is that collaboration will change our economy as dramatically, but in better ways, than the assembly line changed the industrial revolution.  It talks about the motivation for online collaboration, the tools we are seeing, changes we can expect to see, and steps to take to "get in the game".

Let me know if you have any reactions, quibbles, or quarrels with your comments here.  Thanks!

ProjectSpaces now offers a WYSIWYG online document creation and editing tool called "Shared Documents".  Shared Documents are very handy for keeping joint notes, building collaborative lists, and co-authoring papers and reports.  A revision history is maintained automatically so you can always look back at older versions.  Shared Documents can be organized within the ProjectSpaces document library and are full-text searchable.

The interface for Shared Documents maintains our objective of keeping ProjectSpaces very easy to use and intuitive while supporting powerful collaboration. 

Test drive Shared Documents yourself by editing this shared document (use "guest" as the username and password) or sign up for a free trial.
