Brainstorming using Web 2.0

Only when there is a need to do a presentation, and the resources to be used are stored at different people's terminals, and the deadline is a few hours ahead, do I begin to love the "Share" button in Zoho Writer. I can simply give "Read and Write" permission to my friends who are a part of the team and whose computer terminals, unfortunately are separated by a great distance from mine, and wait and watch while the ideas pour in. If ever there is a group of people who'll be most benefitted by such Web-based applications, it'll be the student community, who unfortunately cannot all afford a laptop to carry around.

Previously, when I had to do similar kind of work, I'll have to send the document as the text of an e-mail, for the college terminal doesn't have MS Office installed, contrary to most domestic PC terminals, and e-mail it to myself. Then open the e-mail and do the necessary formatting and take print outs. With web-based Word Processor, it becomes a lot less clumsy. "Share' and more specifically "Read & Write" is now (exploited and loved) by several friends of mine for various purposes - college homework and otherwise where several heads, instead of one are involved.
