Virtual Collaboration Project

Virtual collaboration is a way for campanies to develope an online identity and create areas for their members to contact and work with each other over the internet. There are thousands of ways to accomplish this; including blogs, wikis, websites and networking sites. Recently I was teamed up with my fellow classmates Brice and Damian for a virtual collaboration project. My group developed a pretend night club that would use various types of collaboration. Brice created a twitter account, Damian created a WetFeet account and I created a blogspot. We worked very well together. We utilized our time in class to discuss what needed to be done and contacted each other various times through email and the discussion board (both are types of virtual collaboration). The project was very productive and all our samples were great for advertisement, however if we had more time we could have created more in depth samples. The project taught me how cheap yet effective virtual collaboration can be. There are so many options out there that a company can benifit from and should take advantage of. It is a great way to allow employees to communicate with each other, as well as communicating with the public.
