Google docs - works well for collaboration Google groups - works well for communication, would like to see integration with docs Videoconferencing - we would like to try it to make it easier to meet Google scholar - very good for finding papers, exporting references. Zotero - good option instead of bookmarking, work in progress. Mindmaptools - great for brainstorming sessions and document overviews, brainstorm presentations latex, bibtex and reftex
