Loving the EtherPad cloud computing software. I even have my own pad at http://etherpad.com/amsdiane. I only wish Google had done this first ...
Pros: Free, easy to use, intuitive, easy to add others,
Cons: no deletion, non-public use requires fee/person.
Come on, Google Docs! Be more like EtherPad!

Simple small business software, collaboration, CRM: 37signals

I want this. All of 37signals products, really. Basecamp for project management and collaboration; Highrise for client relations management; Backpack to organize and store it all in; Campfire to chat it all up with others (did I mention it's iPhone compatible?); and throw in Ta-da List and Whiteboard (collaborative writing) and I'd die happy. It's everything Google, but prettier and likely a bit more functional (since it's mostly a for-pay service).
Sweet, though.

Blogging Across the Curriculum
I think I can say this is one of my new favorite Web 2.0 sites. It's not that the site is Web 2.0, but rather it gets back to the fundamentals underlying web 2.0--the writing! Of course, the writing (the message, the content) is what is important!
Short on time? Then check out the "How to Blog --> Writing for Weblogs" page. Those short articles are worth the read and will help when designing and implementing the blogging assignment.
