I came across a pretty decent collaboration tool recently, via TechCrunch. It's called Wizehive, and I spent some time today tinkering around with it to see what it can do.

I was impressed with Wizehive. It's in beta at the moment, so there still are a few bugs in it. But the cloud-based program lets you create work platforms for different aspects of your business. Let's say you run a publication (online or otherwise). You can create a virtual platform for your editors, a different one for your sales people, and a third on for your distribution people. In each you can make a "to do" list, assign those tasks to people, prioritize them, and create a timeline of the progress being made. You and your team can create documents with web based applications or simply upload them to share.

I didn't look much at the different interfaces, but you can evidently get at this thing from Twitter, your cell phone, most email programs, etc. I suspect we'll hear more about Wizehive...
