Thing 7: Online Collaboration Tools

Well, long time no see, Blogger.

Of the two collaboration tools that the documents were provided for, I chose to use Google Docs, mainly because, to be honest, I am a Google fanboy. And with my obvious bias aside, I actually found that Google Docs is a pretty useful tool. I've heard of it before, but never actually used it; having tested it out now, it has a fairly wide range of functions. It has just about all the basics that one may need to edit a document. On a sidenote, however, along the lines of my Google favoritism, there is also a new... let's just call it an Uber-Collaboration Tool, in comparison to these... that was recently released in beta form, Google Wave. Google Wave, in a sense, is much like these document editing tools on steroids. Not only does it include this document editing function, it has improved the functionality and added more. The diversity of Google Wave is way too much for me to discuss right now, but I would recommend that you Google it and maybe do some research on what it can do; I'm sure you'll be impressed.
