One of the best things that web 2.0 brought to us is collaboration tools. Unlike large companies who can have their own intranet run by IT department, small businesses cannot afford such things. But now some of the web-based tools make more and more kinds of collaboration. Another great thing is that many tools help us work with outside agents very efficiently. Based on my own experiences, here are some tools that I really liked.

Rank it

Basecamp

Basecamp became an Intranet for us. It is one of my homepages in my browser.

Rank it

Google Apps

We use Google Apps for our email. I use Outlook together with it, and it works perfectly.

Rank it

Skype

We often have to do conference calls, and Skype saves us long-distance tolls. For a conference call, Skype is actually better than a normal phone because your hands are free. The voice quality is often better than a speaker phone, and there are useful widgets. We used one of them to share screens to discuss about a website.

Rank it

Windows Live Messenger

I am sure most of you know this. So useful for a quick communication.

Rank it

Google Docs

If you need a simple wordprocessor, spreadsheet, and presentation, Google docs will do a reasonable job for you.

Rank it

Conceptshare

An excellent tool for design collaboration.

Rank it

Sharedcopy

Once your web design is up on the server, Sharedcopy is very useful. When you notice something to fix on your website being developed, Sharedcopy lets you annotate and share. It also works with Basecamp.

Rank it

Diigo

If you want to share some bookmarks with your team, Diigo is the best bookmarking tool. You can make a bookmark private, or you can share it with a group. Of course you can make it publlic.

Rank it

Springloops

Web-based Subversion repository. If you are not a programmer, Subversion is a versioning and collaboration tool for programming. Though I am not a programmer, I use it sometimes to change texts in a website, etc. Additional benefit of using Springloops is that you have a natural backup for your website source codes.
