PBwiki is a super simple wiki for small business. I implemented a PBwiki wiki for my office in minutes. I created and populated pages, downloaded documents, organized the whole thing so that the entire company could easily access and collaborate on team-wide information in a flash. Administration of access and read/write privileges was easy. I highly recommend it as one of the easiest web collaboration tools available. It follows the freemium model; a free basic version, upgradable to activate more advanced features.
I just took a look at what others are says in the blogoshere.... wow, they sure get a lot of mentions in a day. Click here so see the comments from the last 24 hours alone.

YUGMA COLLABORATION TOOL NOW AVAILABLE ON
SKYPE EXTRAS AND OFFERS INTEGRATION WITH
SKYPE CALLING FEATURES
MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SEPTEMBER 12, 2007 – Yugma ™ today announced the launch of their Yugma Skype Edition. The Yugma Skype Edition builds upon Skype's offering by adding real time collaboration and desktop sharing functionality. Yugma has integrated the new functionality in a way that makes it extremely easy for existing Skype users. Once Yugma Skype Edition in installed, simply invite a friend or colleague from your existing Skype contact list, Yugma opens automatically, and sharing begins.
"We wanted to build upon Skype's legendary ease of use," said Karel Lukas, COO of Yugma. "Skype makes it easy for people to stay in constant contact and to communicate with one another spontaneously. We believe collaboration needs to move in the same direction, which is why it was natural for Yugma and Skype to come together.”
“It’s as simple as clicking ‘Start Sharing’ in the Yugma window and your friend can see your entire desktop. Press another button in the window and you can swap the sharing power to them… so users of Windows and Mac can share desktops with each other!” wrote Caitlin of Skype in last week’s Skype Developer Program Newsletter.
"Yugma Skype opens-up the door to contextual, just-in-time collaboration, making it possible for any existing Skype user to start screen-sharing, live annotating or giving remote control of the screen to anyone in a few mouse clicks. What's more impressive is that Yugma for Skype supports up to ten concurrent users and is absolutely free, " said Robin Good, Chief Editor of Master New Media.
Yugma is taking a different approach to collaboration. While the rest of the space is meeting-centric and focused on structured collaboration, Yugma is beginning to change course and take their service in a new direction, taking Yugma beyond the limits of meeting-centric structured collaboration.
Yugma Skype Edition is available for download for Skype users in the Skype Extras section at http://extras.skype.com, or directly from the Yugma website, at www.yugma.com/yugmaskype .
Yugma will hold a live news conference later today to provide a demonstration of the Yugma Skype Edition and to take questions.

Yugma hosted the Microsoft/Linux Community "sit down" meeting yesterday, as planned. Leading up to the meeting, we invited Microsoft via post, fax, email and by submitting to their Executive Group center (and I followed up with various phone calls). We also invited many key stakeholders from across the Linux community including the Linux foundation, Free Software Foundation, Linux Journal, Red Hat, Bryan Peters of Show Us the Code movement, and numerous other Linux elitists. We posted blogs, issued a press release to let people know that the meeting was set for today as 12n PT, followed up with reminder emails, and phone calls, and reserved a Yugma online meeting to handle up to 500 attendees. The purpose was to collaboratively work to resolve issues related to the Show Us The Code topic.
AND THEN... we had a very interesting and telling result. What do you think happened??? Can you hear the theme of the movie "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly " playing?
We recorded the meeting and will publish it within the next day or two. I'll follow up with the link.... I think you'll find it to be very interesting...
