General classes of tools

  • chat/IM (many-to-many, many-to-one, one-to-one, private backchannels, discussion bots - we use a triagebot to keep some software dev discussions on track at OLPC - how privacy/logging of conversations affects what people say)
  • wikis (how various features affect the type of discourse/usage)
  • mailing lists (interesting: how their usage changes when they're bidirectionally synced with forums - this happened at OLPC)
  • forums (see above on mailing lists)
  • videoconferencing
  • virtual layers atop physical spaces (for instance: one of the most fun presentations I've ever done was when I made my vyew slides live-editable by the audience during the talk ... Mchua)
  • translating services (see gregdek's lingobot, above)
  • relay services for the disabled (example: deaf person types or signs via webcam to interpreter who speaks into a telephone, listens for response, then signs/types back)
  • audio layers on top of online games - talking with your World of Warcraft team during a strike, etc.
