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

to supporting and driving collective intelligence.
