There is also a 
Google Wave
This week I was given the following link to a presentation of Google's new product called Google Wave.
Please check out this video for a 1:20h preview of this upcoming product.
Google Wave is to replace the way email, blogs, wiki's, instant messaging and other collaboration tools are used. Wave can replace all of these tools. The most important feature of Wave is that people can work together in one text, where everybody sees the other people type. This means that for instance using instant messaging you don't have to wait for the other person to finish typing. Just like when listening to another person you probably know halfway a sentence what he will say, you can follow the typing of the other person in real time and start reacting on it even if she is not finished typing.
Other nice features of Google Wave are the dragging and dropping of pictures (which of course can be followed by other people eal time by looking at the wave) and the instant spell checker that "understands" your sentence (e.g. "Icland is an Icland" is automatically changed to "Iceland is an island").
Obviously Google Wave is running in the (Google) cloud. This enables people to collaborate anywhere using any device. The big question is: will companies stop using technologies like SharePoint in favour of Google Wave running in the cloud? Although Wave looks very good, I think not.
