What would I do if I wanted to effectively collaborate with a group by sharing more than my desktop? What if I wanted to add and augment content in the cloud with a group? There are many great free products out there however I have three must-have functions in mind; chat, forum, and archive. Whether you dream of building a collaboration hub for a small group of like-minded social entrepreneurs or a study group for LSAT test takers these three sites are fine sandboxes for creating community:
Zoho1. ZOHOThe free version includes unlimited group members, document management, Google docs integration, & 10MBs storage (which should go far with text). Host your media elsewhere and link to it to keep your usage low.
2. VYEW
VyewAll free all the time with a 10 person room limit. This ad-supported site provides whiteboard, screen sharing, Voice-over-IP, and no storage limit.
Get to your group easily from your iPhone. Too many extras to count but it will take a tech savvy individual to fully implement this one. The free version gets you 200MB of storage for unlimited users.
