I like these kind of electronic brainstorming business tools because they fulfil a double purpose. On the one hand, you have the ability to collaborate with various fellow workers who may be situated in the next office or in Timbuktu. However, by allowing groups to brainstorm anonymously from their computers rather than in person another interesting scenario crops up. The online chat room allows all your collective brainstorming to take place safely and securely in the room with no names attached to proposals or comments. This is a technique used by some of many Fortune 500 companies to promote brainstorming ... Read more

My word how school life has changed! At the risk of giving my age away I was at school in the days before even photocopiers were a widespread part of a teacher’s kit. I can still remember the smell of the duplicating ink on the History hand-outs. As for the excuses about why a particularly nasty piece of homework was missing well, leaving it on the bus was about as original as I got. It follows then that a site like Schoolrack would have seemed as far away as a manned expedition to Mars but educational software has now got one ... Read more
When most businesses start out no doubt they can handle customer enquiries in the old fashioned way. With a small customer base and a small team to go with it the old ˈsticky note pressed on to a screenˈ ploy usually does the trick. The other choice of course is to forward an email, hope for the best and then try and remember which member of the team you forwarded it to so you can follow it up. The problem with both of these methods is that they leave themselves open to human error and a poorly addressed customer enquiry simply ... Read more
