Vic on Collaboration Tools

Let’s set the stage for what will be discussed here:

First of all what are we defining as collaboration tools? Any model or piece of software, especially web based, that helps to guide interactive design between two or more people. As web technology takes the lime light over the next couple of years, we will be looking for insights on tool products, companies, concepts that help to facilitate – not just getting projects done – but improving the human engagement. I look forward to seeing lots of interaction and input from not only those who are making tools, but those of you who want to use them.

What is needed functionally in the tools and why? Where does each tool best apply to brainstorming, vision-creating, decision-making, strategizing, proposing, and so on? How does human behavior relate to tool design and use?

See where I’m going here?

So jump into this conversation and let’s build this blog into an awesome set of sources for learning how to collaborate together – in a world that so much needs healthier ways for communicating and innovating with each other. Ways that make our planet a place where our children and our children’s children will want to be.
