These tools can help your group “go the distance” and work as if you already have your own office. There are plenty of online collaborative tools: 1. You can use Facebook groups to create a group page that will allow people in your group to communicate your ideas. 2. WordPress also allows you to multiple contributors for a single blog. 3. Google Drive and Microsoft Office Online allow multiple people to work on different office files and even have their own group’s cloud storage. 4. Microsoft’s Yammer offers companies to have their own social network that allows sharing and managing content. 5. Sites like Trello offer an online to-do checklist for your entire team.
