I use HumanEdj. It lets you make plans for collaborative work very easily by creating Stages then giving people deliverables in each Stage. I found HumanEdj much simpler and quicker than typical project management tools (I’ve tried BaseCamp, Zoho, MS Project, and many more). HumanEdj is especially useful for doing the work in a plan, since HumanEdj automatically puts documents, chat messages, etc just where you want them.

Here’s a new one that’s still a little deep in the unsung category, :). Odysen, at http://www.odysen.com. Key features include being simple to use and create items as well as easy to share with others.

FMYI [for my innovation] is a collaboration site where you store and share information securely with your team. Everyone gets their own social networking-style profile page. People can create additional pages to post messages, files, links, tasks, events, and more for projects, contacts, resources or anything else you need to achieve your goals.

I will add http://www.agreedo.com . Unlike all others here on this great list it really let people be must more efficient when it comes to meetings. Whether they meet live or online agreedo.com lets people prepare for the meeting, run the meeting and followup the results. I think they are still beta.

Great list! I've used many of these as well.

Although it wasn't available when this list was made, I'd like to put a good word out for Fellowstream. It's not only a great collaboration tool, but it's also super simple to use for personal task management. It's like doing both at the same time in some ways, and I've found it extremely useful.

Awesome list. I had not heard of redliner or drop.io. will check them out. Agree with Benjamin - there should be some communication tools in this list. whats collaboration without communication! :)

Benjamin - we use sococo.com for our communications. works very well as our team is all over the world.

An additional topic is the ability to weave cloud data into collaborative tools and collaborative social platforms. A service called itDuzzit.com offers a way to integrate cloud data sources (i.e. Salesforce, Weather, Google Analytics) into collaborative sites such as Yammer: http://bit.ly/drHE6X

Ubidesk is a web-based application that provides online workspaces for effective team collaboration. Ubidesk allows team members to collaborate on documents, share files, and manage tasks with easy-to-use interface.
