Online Application and Tools, i.e. Meebo, Google Docs

What I like about the various online application tools such as Meebo, Google Docs, Shelfari, etc. is that several users can be logged on and contribute simultaneously to a page. With wikis, one is restricted to only one user at a time, -- other participants can only contribute to the discussion, once the person who is currently logged in, has logged off the site.

I had a look at the interface of Meebo and Shelfari. With Meebo there is a definte look of a chat room, with messages constantly appearing. Sites such as Shelfari are definitely geared towards a specific interest group (with Shelfari catering to librarians and book lovers). I found this latter type of site to be well organised with a uniform look to it.
