2.0 online applications
I can see how some of the applications could be useful in the work place. Sharing documents through Google Docs would certainly circumvent the need to open large email attachments. Collaboration on team projects could be improved as more ideas may flow between team members. Perhaps it would also inspire a sense of inclusion in a project and openess. Someone coordinating a project, where they need input from a large number of people, could also benefit. Slideshare's whiteboard and ability to share powerpoint presentations could be used by those involved in educational projects such as developing presentations for library clients. I recently worked in a team where we met regularly to fine tune a powerpoint presentation and this tool could have been used in this situation. Online applications are useful tools as long as we don't overlook the human need for face to face consultation.

With so many of the web.2 tools it is not a case of missing out on face to face interaction, but they can allow us to work together more effectively sometime when it is not possible to have face to face interactions. I have found using Google docs combined with a teleconference produces very good results.
