"In the past you were what you owned, now you are what you share"

I thought the above quote from Charles Leadbeater a pertinent one for discussing collaborative tools.

It's from a little animation on YouTube to promote his book We Think. More on the book here:

While you watch the video, I'll play with Google Docs, Slideshare and Zoho and report back.

I'm back.
Google docs rocks? Well, I think it might! That little gmail password opens quite a few doors, doesn't it?
The applications for online collaboration tools for us are obvious and many.
No more (or fewer) version control and conversion problems. I'm converted.
I believe that sharing and collaborating is more than technological - it's behavioural - but with some of these emerging free technologies, it looks like where's there's a will to collaborate and work together, there'll also be a way!
