*New - Update Directory 2015 here: http://bit.ly/BestOnlineCollaborationTools Best Online Coll...
This is a collaborative mindmap originally started during the LearnTrends live online event on November 16th 2008. In that web event, over 100 people led by Robin Good collaboratively created this large map identifying as many as possible of all the available online collaboration tools, giving initial preference to those providing a free access plan versus the high-price corporate solutions. The map has been updated regularly since then and it keeps being updated with new tools and services....
