GOOGLE Docs and ZOHO Writer

The biggest advantage of these tools is skipping the step of emailing attached documents between users. I have worked with document exchange software with several groups. This resource is a real time saver. In the process of working with a "shared" document, I think it may also cut down on the number of times participants have to resend emails because the attachments failed to open.

I have also worked with Google Docs. I recommend the tutorials and getting as much help as you can from the vendors/suppliers. There are quite a few features for this tool and I would not say that they are all intuitive. Still these are innovative tools that committees or other groups of individuals can take advantage of while they remain free services.
