There’s been a new app specialized in meetings and minutes. It’s Yoomit – http://www.yoomit.com – and allows anyone or any organization to organize their meetings and minutes.

Everyone adds agenda itens and discuss them, uploads support documents, takes personal notes etc.
Then you write the conclusions, assign tasks and close the meeting in professional-looking minutes!

Using the discussion feature, people can even have a meeting from a distance, say, being each participant at their airport – although there’s no real-time talk, you can leave comments and have a “talk”.

The personal account is free and although there’s no collaboration (discussion) in the free version, you can schedule meetings with anyone and are still able to upload documents for agenda items.

Cheers,
Fernando

Another tool people may wish to turn to is Pixetell, a visual communications technology that’s ideal for working remotely http://www.pixetell.com. It gives you the ability to collaborate and communicate with colleagues like web conferencing but without having to align schedules to make it happen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7-Vtyr7yIM.

We utilise VidyoConferencing(tm) technology which allows for very high quality, multi-participant video conferencing from your desktop over the internet.

It only takes a minute to set up as well.

And since it works on PAYG credit there is no long term commitment.

If it’s a quick informal meeting and you need to collaborate with folks over an image or a webpage design try twiddla.com .

If it is a long-term collaboration and you are a disciplined team (re)try
google wave – it was designed for this stuff -even if it is still a bit rough around the edges.
