Groove 2007 allows you to create ad-hoc virtual teams to work on projects.

It uses p2p type technology to keep everyone in the team in sync and does other things like instant messaging, push to talk (to the virtual team) and lots, lots more.

I am going to do a demo Screencast about it, its going to be easier to demo than write about.

What is Twitter?

Twitter is for staying in touch and keeping up with friends no matter where you are or what you’re doing. For some friends you might want instant mobile updates—for others, you can just check the web. Invite your friends to Twitter and decide how connected you want you to be.

Twitter(mania) seems to be continuing in the blog-o-sphere, Twitter reminds me a lot about MoBlogging and Instant messaging combined. It’s like instant messaging but in public.

I’m not sure I need this kind of blow by blow minutiae and likewise I would not want to inflict my boring schedule on the world.

It’s getting a lot of traction, perhaps you need to “use it” to “get it” properly.
