Google docs. Stability , easy to use

I'd like to see a contact group feature. When I share a doc to a group of people, I can just simply enter the contact group name, instead of every emails.
Does Diigo count? :)
If not, then Zoho Office. It's a complete (more complete than Google Docs) office suite for free and online. It's still be bit on the buggy side though. Sometimes slow and sometimes the features work a bit better than others.

i used dotproject for its "all in one functions", as it's free, and very complete...
but as a collaborative tool, it's not so easy to use... but has many good tools inside.
i think wikis are very useful too like: tiddlywiki (a very simple but strong one)
and for more what do you think about e-learning tools like atutor, or perhaps much more: moodle ?
and for the last ... i think it approach our complex relationships: cmaptools, a schematic collaborative tool: all links are synthetized in a scheme and others can add and make the functioning better...
also second life, with a better renderer will be the tool for collaborative... 3D and direct exchange: just need some tools to share and add some private events... (it has some...)
next ...
I use Mindomo it's an online Mind Map @ http://www.mindomo.com the best free online mind mapper I have found. want to see mine go http://www.mindomo.com/view?m=53db881df092ba76f4ec91f62ff90d9e
Another one is Coventipages @ https://www.coventi.com it's like a online white board or instant messenger with a word processor editor.
douban — share reading
google doc— share writting
uhmmm... let's see
www.thinkfree.com --> working as Office suite. Using 'Power Edit' function will be the most similar alternative to Office I have found. What I don't like of Google docs and Zoho apps is that they can't visualize an Word document as originally created, but thinkfree does.
http://reviewbasics.com/ --> an original way to show what you are working on and ask for opinions.
www.vyew.com --> collaborative online, similar to zoho meeting.
... and a bit more that I will post as I remember them... ;)

I use google docs at home - ease of use, version control, off site backup.
- could make it better with full offline capabilties
Open-xchange at work. Secure, linking capabilities, easy to learn/use.
- no complaints
:lol: You've made me feel so ignorant. We still use e-mail over here, but mainly because the company is small and we all live close to one another.
That MindMap tool is excellent. It looks like a Mindjet MindManager hack. Great tool, thanks.

I got started on Google Sites as soon as i got the notice that it was available. It quite powerful, as it integrates a wiki/website editor that is easy to grasp, shared calendar, and google docs all in one.
It still is kind of basic, but it doesn't need to setup a server (though it does require owning a domain). It does allow for a medium organisation to setup different websties (one per project / team / activity or whatever) and give very precise permissions in regard to who can read what.
I am not an IT dude, just a regular power-user, and i enjoy it tremendously. The IT dudes in my org blocked previous attempts of mine of converting them to Google Apps, but this is a nice hack, since it doesn't require any permission of theirs: accounts are setup through a simple e-mail verification (with a link to click on as you would find for registering on any forum).
It does lack the projct management tools that it should have (since Google Sites is based on Jotspot), but i'm pretty positive it''s only a matter of time until they launch them. the page editor is pretty basic, also (but that's good for the rest of us who don't want to mess around with any html whatsoever), and it is wysiwig.
For project management i use http://www.comindwork.com. A lot features, powerful and free (5 team members/ 5projects)
