Virtual Workplaces
What is the suitability of tools like Webex, erooms and Netmeeting for real online
collaboration? Blackboard and WebCT are other tools.
The other ones at http://thinkofit.com/webconf/forumsoft.htm are
Facilitate, Groove, and iManage These are all pretty expensive.
http://www.ewenger.com/tech/index.htm is a relevant link.
Supporting Communities of Practice: A Survey of Community Oriented
Technologies
I recently have looked at learning management systems which are also
morphing into team tools. Then there are:
www.erooms.com
www.intranets.com
www.learningspace.com (hm, I think that is the IBM brand, not the url)
Intranets.com used to have a free low volume option - not any more...
Learningspace is http://www.lotus.com/home.nsf/welcome/learnspace
Groove is still pretty much a "work in progress" it has been known to bloat your
Windows registry nearly beyond redemption (beware!).
Check out Bernie DeKoven's reviews on
http://www.technography.com?
Also webcrossing has a new wrapped version called Teamcrossing. See
also http://www.optecs.com
The list of tools with descriptions at http://www.coworking.com/html/tools.html is very
useful!
http://www.mimerdesk.org/ is an open source product.

Another one I've seen is Community Zero
http://www.communityzero.com/ looks to be a combination of several of the kinds of
free services which are available elsewhere
