RE: Geek Salad meets Tuesday Jan 6 at 7-8 AM at Kaldi's on 9th and Cherry

I have been looking at Groove. I have set up an account (very easy), but have not tested it yet. Here is the scoop:

 

Microsoft® Office Groove® 2007 is Internet software for making direct connections with the people who are important to you. With Office Groove 2007, you can bring together team members from both inside and outside your company, with no IT assistance required and no need to waste time thinking about firewalls, servers, security, or network access. Additionally, you can enjoy the efficiency of always knowing each other's virtual location, or online presence, thus allowing for organic and quick conversation and collaboration.

Are you aware of any slick collaboration tools?

 

·         I am able to use SharePoint to do document collaboration. Not easy.

·         I’ve done several document collaborations now on Google Docs. It’s pretty easy. I’ve tripped myself up by not making a document public in time. I like seeing the older versions.

·         I’ve never edited anything on Wikipedia, though I’ve peeked under the hood.

 

Most of my academic colleagues are still sending around Word documents. Some, but not most, are using the Review feature that lets one add annotations, which you can show or hide. Someone then has to come along and add the suggested changes.

 

Google Spreadsheets and Forms are an easy way to make simple online surveys.

If you want branching logic, you need to use Survey Monkey. Or maybe Sean Goggins has a new product from Lanit…
