CollabEdit is a really nifty tool. If you are working as a geographically separated team on the same file, this is definitely something you should consider using.

Editing documents asynchromously is enough of a pain what with keeping track of everyones changes and what not. You might try to solve this problem with something similar to mac's screenshare, but what happens when people are trapped behind slow connections? This is a website that everyone on a team can connect to and edit the same document in real time.

I've never actually had to use it myself, but from what I've heard, it's supposed to do a really good job.

If anyone uses it and has an opinion about it, please let me know. I'd love to post new information on this.
