Sync.in is a great service from Cynapse that has taken the original Etherpad and given it a fresh theme, a desktop launcher to access your pads easily, social network sharing, and more. Let’s take a look at the service and see if collaborative writing has been given a fresh start with Sync.in.

There are a lot of collaborations tools on the web, but if you need a way to quickly hack out a document with a group of people, Sync.in is your best bet. With this instant collaboration tool there's no need for registration: all you need to do to work on a document with someone else is send them a link. Just like that you're working together with someone in the perfect collaborative environment. Each user is assigned their own color; all work created by that users will be highlighted with that color.

Before online collaboration was more widely known, it might have seemed impossible for people who were far away from each to work as a group on a project. This ‘impossibility’ however was immediately done away with thanks to online collaboration. In case you do not know what the term means, online collaboration is a group of individuals working on the same file or document online. Everybody makes changes and edits to the documents and these changes can be viewed by other group members. Currently countless websites offer this service.

This invoicing module fills the gap between default Open ERP accounting modules and your particular billing data and is suitable for hosting (e-mail, web-hosting etc.), utilities, telecoms, service companies and others. Designed especially for small to mid sized companies selling different kind of services, which should be constantly timely invoiced on the single invoice. This task allowed us to develop the invoicing module which employs basic features previously available in other similar ERP/CRM systems (recurrent invoicing on fixed sums), as well as the features (recurrent invoicing based on actually consumed amounts) formerly available only in specialized vertical systems designated for single companies or single industries.

Specifically, your applications can now directly access all of a user's status, links, and notes via new methods and FQL calls. Your application will have access to any status, notes, or links from the active user or their friends that are currently visible to the active user. In addition, we're opening new APIs for you to post links, create notes, or upload videos for the current user, and we've made setting a user's status easier.

Salesforce.com - the silent but deadly ones.
- Mona Nomura
but then does every enterprise app really need social collaboration aspects? there is always something to be said for apps that are lightweight and simply do their sole function instead of bloating them up with feature du jour. Should they move to a simple API based system that can be harnessed by a fully fledged collaboration suite?
- alphaxion
Mona: Salesforce is hardly silent, but in this area not clear they're more advanced than Oracle or SAP.
- Michael Krigsman
Alphaxion: not all enterprise apps need social features. But many could benefit from well-planned collaboration processes.
- Michael Krigsman
With social CRM? They're silent. I can barely find information online about the Facebook + Salesforce partnership except press releases. There's something big planned in the pipeline and I think it may also involve commerce too. http://www.insidefacebook.com/2008...

Sigh, Can someone explain to me when CRM was Anti-Social? Or lacked collaboration? Not to snark, but I've only been in this space since before CRM was called CRM (who remembers Scopus?) and it has always been social and collaborative (done well anyway).
- Brian Roy
For my money Enterprise 2.0 is less about social and more about a complete re-thinking of how IT gets done/delivered in an Enterprise. More crowd sourced and dynamic, less centralized and controlled.
- Brian Roy
Traditional CRM has been top-down. The social elements change the shape to peer collaboration. Big difference.
- Michael Krigsman
I should be clearer. SAP is also doing new Enterprise 2.0 stuff too. It's the old stuff that I was trying to riff off of here. Krigsman is right.
- Robert Scoble
Michael - Peer collaboration has been in KB & Chat and other CRM tools since 2001/2002. CRM will ALWAYS be top down (IMHO) because the employees who use it most are the lowest paid, least trained/educated employees in the company. It is what it has always been - 3000 low pay people in cubes answering customer phone calls/chats.
- Brian Roy
Robert: Clearly I don't understand what you mean by Enterprise 2.0
- Brian Roy
Brian: it's like porn. You'll know it when you see it.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: While I'm all for porn in the enterprise... that doesn't help me much :)
- Brian Roy
Dhiraj: There are many tools out there, but software alone is not enough. It's requires a lifestyle change.
- Michael Krigsman
Michael - Read it (before today) - Saw preview when I was at Intuit (Big Oracle shop). What I see is what I saw before with CRM with the word "Social" splashed in at various points. CRM required a culture change too - and I can tell you first hand that it rarely happens... I won't list my resume here but I've DONE this stuff many times... Social doesn't change CRM.
- Brian Roy
Obviously that is just IMHO... time will tell.
- Brian Roy
Brian - Timing is more important than terminology, imho. I've seen (and worked on) some Oracle CRM products we (the US) weren't ready for.
- Mona Nomura
Less timing and more culture. If the company isn't interested in creating relationships with their customers CRM is of little value. Most large companies see CRM as sales/marketing opportunity...
- Brian Roy
Brian: My entire work and blogging life is devoted to cultural / organizational aspects of IT failures. So yes, I agree with you
- Michael Krigsman
Not convinced at all that e.20 products must build in social tools from the start. Many vendors are adding a social layer on top of existing products, particularly Sharepoint, for instance. SAP does appear to be working on baking in the features early on. As far as enterprise 2.0 is concerned, @BrianTroy, I think Andrew McAfee is virtually required reading on this stuff, particularly where defining it is concerned. http://blog.hbs.edu/faculty...
- Alex Howard
Alex: I agree, but not sure I would use Sharepoint as a shining example of anything. Lots of smart people hate it.
- Michael Krigsman
michael: but sharepoint does neatly integrate with AD and exchange for some very compelling collaboration mechanisms - large one that springs to mind would be calendars that are accessed by fat clients, PDA's and browsers. You're always gonna get people that hate it and people that love it. Personally I detest the aspect where it will store your files in the SQL database... but then I've always preferred granular control over things and don't trust lumping everything into a single place.
