Interesting tools to facilitate effective communications within organizations as well as fostering the ability to share data in a timely manner: These products allow for the accumulation of data and allow the compilation using centralized sharing protocol:

GoFundMe: During this class, I have been motivated to once again give back to the community in which I live. This product offers resources for for collaboration and start up operations such as Pegasus International to tap into monies for Profit entities as well as Not for profits as well. The major benefit to this site is the templated applications and the second positive aspect is the availability of technical support from their staff. Its use is not limited to business units but charitable endeavors as well.

Photo Peach: This product is similar to Animoto Video. It appears to be similar but offers additonal tools. The product demonstrates a degree of flexibility in allowing different formats for pictures for publication. Instead of having to buy a subscription, the company offers it free to the users. This product can be used for personal or business applications. The business application would be beneficial in the exchange of proposal data within departments. (Especially in the engineering redering of process controll data sheets)

ShareBack: Although I am not a big user of Social networking sites, I can see the importance of getting feedback and place value when feedback is received. This particular product appears to have the ability to interface with facebook and other Social networking sites and allows for the quick exchange of data. It has the ability to provide similar connectivity as twitter and facebook but lacks the size aspect. The format is easier to use and the security appears to be higher with the incorporation of virus detection software. This is a development product and in time it should surpass it competitors as far as flexibility. This should be limited to internal or departmental exchange of information. From a cost effective standpoint, I am confident that it will work within the framework that is needed.

Google Docs: I was recently introduced to this product and found it to be easy to operate and compose new documents for business as well as personal use. The product offers a wide variety of templates and range from business, finance, and personal entertainment. The area that I found to be most usefull was the preparation of business documentation. It does offer flexibility around the home for budgeting and preparation of financial spreadsheets as well. One element of particular interest is the resume composition section. The flexibity of this area is unquestionable. This product should be used in any environment and expecially when you need to collaborate with team members and allow them to edit group materials for presentation and consistency.

Skype: Rounding out the top five choices of all the top Web tools is Skype. This tool is packed with features that are amazing. While traveling in both Japan and in China, I was able to call back to the States using my laptop computer at no additional long distance charges. It's most beneficial feature is the ability to conference call and the ability to connect with standard phones as well as cell phones all over the globe. The range is limitless and the clarity is fantastic. The use of this product domestically is superior to the IM features that most internet users enjoy. This product should be used when you are having poor cell phone or land line communication issues in overseas markets. I whole heartedly recommend this product for collaboration between groups and family. The accessibility is superior.
