Collaborating across Time Zones: How 2.0 Technology Can Bring Your Global Team Together
Hastings, Robin
Computers in Libraries, v28 n10 p16-19 Nov-Dec 2008
The Web 2.0 tools and services that are making socializing, networking, and communicating in general so easy are also making group projects seriously simple. With the judicious use of a few of the popular tools that use Web 2.0 technologies and philosophies, one can collaboratively create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, websites, project documentation, and just about anything else one can think of while adding the benefits of distributed computing, asynchronous access, and storing one's work "in the internet." In this article, the author describes several Web 2.0 tools that allow individuals from different time zones to collaborate together on projects.
