oneDrum cleverly plays on the possibilities of Dropbox and Google docs to collaborate on files. However, the focus of oneDrum is on the use of Microsoft Office: why should you learn other applications to collaborate on files? With oneDrum, your files simply remain on your own computer, and you can easily share these files and collaborate on a specific document.
This way you can make notes within the document for the person you are working with, and it is easy to keep track of who has worked on what. Interesting product, especially since the Office suites are still used a lot. oneDrum philippines phone number list is currently focused on MS Office, but via their API other software can also use their service: “all applications will be collaborative” .

*openmargin: the book margins as public space
*openmargin’s idea came about because many people place comments in the margins of books about the text they are reading. In e-readers it is also possible to highlight texts and place notes. Openmargin goes further, however, by connecting e-book readers with each other via a social network where the notes can be discussed with each other.
In this way, reading ebooks becomes interactive, and interesting discussions can arise about the text read. At the moment, *openmargin has its own application in which epub ebooks can be read. In the long term, they want to offer an open API that every reader can use. Interesting tool for authors who want to publish something independently and actively contact their readers!

Flockler: news compilation for and by readers
Flockler's presentation begins with the statement that current online news items do not really promote participation because they are often static, written by one author, and often marketed by one publisher. Flockler believes that a focus on topics rather than individual news items is needed to engage people more, and that the composition of such topics should not be accomplished by one author but by multiple experts.
The setup is simple: you create an online topic, invite a few experts to post content, and then embed this curated content on your own site. You can post online content via the web, but also via iPhone, iPad, and Android apps. In this way, journalists and readers of the Finnish newspaper Aamulehti compiled relevant content about the disaster in Japan.
