The consumer Web2.0 driven collaboration craze has permeated corporate
walls to bring collaboration to businesses in a new way.
Collaboration has advanced significantly from phone, email and
web-meeting tools. It has evolved into a full open-source multimedia
channel for sharing data and communications in many ways. And more
importantly, extending beyond the corporate intranet to include
customers, suppliers and global sources of knowledge.
Collaboration tools have evolved in value from simple sharing media,
to supporting and driving collective intelligence.

| Google Docs Better; Ready to Take on Office? |
| The new version of Google Docs sports considerable collaboration tools, as well as improved editing and formatting, a faster, more useful spreadsheet and new collaborative drawing software.
