Keeping up to date with RSS
Working with a group at documents
Wiki’s
Advantages Easy to let a web based document grow organically Version control: easy to see who created a page and who
changed it
Disadvantages Not easy to create an offline document (but it is geting better) Shared tables are a challenge Alternative Online office applications like Zoho or Google Docs
