That's the title of an Inc. Magazine piece about collaborative tools: "a new breed of software [which] can help far-flung employees work together". Some good hands-on stories of users' experiences with Groove, SharePoint and the SocialText Workspace wiki product.

Coincidentally, there's somewhere I'd love to be right now: Supernova, on the west coast. Lots of interesting people and hot topics on the agenda. Ray Ozzie gave one of the keynote addresses this morning, as did Tom Malone (about whose "Future of Work" book I keep meaning to write much more); Heath Row is transcribing huge amounts verbatim, and has notes from Ray's session amongst much else. There's also a Supernova Wiki, online discussions, live audio streams (which I missed)... at this rate I'll probably be online all night catching up.

Next best thing to being there, though, is the satisfaction (sic) of helping nail the last round of bugs before we ship that Groove Version 3 Virtual Office Software out the door. Yes, we have bugs. No, not very many now. It's looking really hot.
