Someone Else Has Done a Ton of Research

There are tons of "Web 2.0" programs/platforms/tools/mashups ... whatever term you prefer. Researching what is available and how they all work is a daunting task. But check out Solution Watch (well worth subscribing to its feed, too!) ... two great posts: Back to School Part 1, and Back to School Part 2.

I've been looking at the Part 2 post and find so much of it useful and intriguing. As part of an R&D group in my firm, we sometimes struggle with the idea of how to easily and inexpensively collaborate and how to incorporate collaborative technologies for our clients.

Note that Writely is now Google Docs & Spreadsheets ... and I'm a huge fan of this.

One of my surprise favorites is PocketMod (which was featured in the Part 1 post)
