Productivity Tools- September 2009

1. Real-time collaborative editing application
Etherpad http://etherpad.com/ offers you to generate a collaboratively editable on-line document with a single mouse click. After creating the page, you can share it with your teammates by sending them the page link. With this link, your collaborators can join you from anywhere on the Net and start editing the document along with you. The text entered by you (or by any other participant) will appear on other participant’s screen instantaneously. The process is so real-time that each of the keystrokes will be visible to all the participants. Also, as the text colour of each of participants is unique, one can easily identify who typed what.Once done with the session, the document can be saved as a Word, PDF or HTML file (using the ‘Export’ feature).

Bottomline....it is very easy to use ..no need to create account or login processess, unlike google documents.
2. Download videos
Once integrated with your computer you can use it to download videos from around 50 video hosting services such as youtube, google video, dailymotion, blip and the like.
3. Structured Search
Just visit these two sites. You need to see it to believe it. Just amazing search results
