Online collaboration has become a necessity nowadays as companies and people are located in different locations (or countries). More and more web2.0 ajax based collaboration application are developed to meet the growing needs to share documents and files. Various ways and user interface have been introduced, and yet, there’s still seems to be room for more innovations. Such innovation can be found in a web collaboration service called Cyn.In.

Cyn.In (pronounced “Sign-in”) is an enterprise bliki service that enables teams, companies or communities to create, manage, organize, store, version, search through, collaborate & discuss upon, share, publish and broadcast any kind of information or data. A bliki is a web based collaboration and publishing system, that marries the concepts and benefits of a blog based publishing software and a wiki based collaboration system. Cyn.In manages all your rich content, audio, video, images, documents, presentations, spreadsheets, drawings, archives and any type of files.

Cyn.In conceptually simplifies the way people deal with their information. To its users, any data is simply a ‘note’. A note could contain rich textual content, pictures, media, categorization tags, or files of any type. Once created, a note can be shared with any number of other users of your site, and worked on collaboratively. All notes that you have shared appear in the Shared notes section of your site. All your notes that are only accessible by you are present in the Personal notes section. Every time any of the users change the contents of the note or adds or modifies the files in it, a new version of the note is created. You can simply preview and roll back to any of the previous versions.

Every member (an organization or a team) is provided with an independent sub system, simply called a site, which could be located at ‘yourcompany.cyn.in’ or at ‘www.yourdomain.com’. These sub systems or sites are hosted within the secure Cyn.In datacenters, and are managed, monitored and upgraded by the Cyn.In team. You can have 2 users for free (up to 25 MB of space in total) or an unlimited amount of users (unlimited - up to 1 GB of space per users) for the Enterprise edition.

Overall, Cyn.In has managed to create a very good collaboration application that is easy to use with a clean and excellent design. WorldTechLogic has posted several online collaboration applications, such as: BlueTie, ConceptShare, ProgrammerMeetDesigner, Eloops, yView, and many more. With BlueTie currently on top of our list (with 20 users, email, and online sharing capability), Cyn.In has definitely got some catching up to do. Currently, in the online web collaboration industry, Cyn.In is ranked 2 in our list. We’ll be coming up with the list shortly after in the near future.

Microsoft continues to invest in services that help people express themselves, and find, connect and nurture deeper relationships with others around the world as it announces the Windows Liveâ„¢ Spaces, a blogging and social networking site on the Live.com platform, at August 1, 2006.

Microsoft began rolling out Windows Live™ Spaces, the next generation of the world’s most widely used blogging service, MSN^® Spaces. The new service includes social networking features designed to help users discover and connect with friends through their trusted contacts and allows customers to personalize their Windows Live Spaces with gadgets.

With Windows Liveâ„¢ Spaces, you can write a blog; post photos; create lists; import Xbox® gaming modules; add gadgets and RSS feeds; communicate with others using Windows Live Messenger; and get to know the friends of your friends. You have control over who sees your space: your friends, your Messenger contacts, and / or the whole world. And you can view and publish your space from whatever Web-enabled PC or e-mail-enabled device is convenient—for example, your laptop, cell, or handheld. Finally, it’s your space—make it your own by choosing the colors, designs, and themes that best reflect your individual style and personality.

Windows Liveâ„¢ Spaces has two key new features:

1. A Friends Module that can be added to a space. Users then invite friends who will then appear on the site. Clicking on the messenger icon will initiate an IM session with that friend as well. With another click you can view all of the friends of your friend, expanding your network (and racking up page views for Microsoft). This last feature is called Friends Explorer.
2. Live.com gadgets can now be added to spaces with a single click.

In 1994, two electrical engineering grad students at Stanford University blew off their doctoral theses in pursuit of cataloging their favorite web sites. Holed up in a campus trailer, the pair created “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web”, a catchy moniker later replaced with the more memorable Yet Another Hierarchical Officious Oracle, or Yahoo!. Their procrastination-borne hobby eventually grew into a global network of branded properties that’s visited by approximately half of all people connected to the Internet. An awesome responsibility to be sure and one the people at Yahoo! don’t take lightly.

As part of that commitment, Yahoo! welcomes you to Yodel Anecdotal, where it invites you behind the screen of Yahoo!. Yodel Anecdotal provides insights into the company, its people, culture, and the things that occupy its people’s minds. It’ll cover emerging trends, provide some behind-the-scenes commentary, profile interesting Yahoos, spotlight of Yahoo!’s beloved users, reveal some of its quirks, tap into guest bloggers, sprinkle in some videos, podcasts and photo essays, and generally think out loud. It is based on WordPress CMS.

In spite of what you’ll read about Yahoo!, Yodel Anecdotal encourages you to post your comments, quibbles, questions, suggestions – let it know if Yodel Anecdotal is hitting the spot, missing the mark or if you simply see things a different way. While posting, please use good blogging manners. That means: stay on topic, be courteous and productive, and avoid profanity, racial slurs, patent rudeness or anything that violates its terms of service. Yodel Anecdotal is a moderated site and they’ll reject comments that paint outside these proverbial lines. Oh, and if you have a stupendous story you think you want to share with others, please contact them directly

Spotback is a new breed of personalized news service. It is designed to quickly learn each user’s fields of interest and style by analyzing how users rate and interact with news information. It then offers users the most interesting, relevant and hard to filter news information personally tailored to their taste. Spotback uses sophisticated algorithms that analyze social behavior. These algorithms are designed to harness the power of the entire community for the benefit of the individual user.

The ideas and technologies behind Spotback are based on the understanding that every user has his own interest and tastes. The true challenge of a personalized information service lies in finding the information that will interest individual users the most rather than the information that most users think is interesting. This concept makes Spotback fundamentally different from the existing ‘find the most popular content’ or ‘top stories’ technologies. Want to know more? Visit the Spotback blog.
