Facebook groups mostly function asynchronously, but a synchronous activity now and again can really rally the troops. Docs are like super-simple wikis, and probably the most truly collaborative aspect of a Facebook group. Docs are great for posting information that you plan to come back to again and again. Monitor accordingly.

Now an entire team can enjoy continuous synchronization of a folder (and sub-folders) for a project. Dropbox also has essential team collaboration built in.

Full-fledged applications that live in the cloud: for example, Google Docs , Microsoft Office 365 , Zoho , or NetSuite. Offline synchronization capabilities aren't very good yet. Platforms as a service: you rent server space, bandwidth, and the tools to help you build or customize web-based applications ( Salesforce , for example).
