AroundMe is free collaboration software
June 23
WebWorkerDaily tipped me off about a new tool put out by a Swedish non-profit organization called Barnraiser. Barnraiser aims to build free collaboration tools that create spaces for groups to meet and get things done for the good of open society. It’s a pretty cool vision.
I tried a quick demo of the software and wasn’t immediately blown away, but it’s worth noting that you can integrate Google Maps, Flickr albums, YouTube videos, and a Last.FM player into your group space.
As I often spend weekends playing with new technologies, I’ll mess around with this a bit and offer some thoughts. This could be handy.

Thanks Scott, I took a look a few weeks back. Last weekend I took another look and they have done a lot of work in a short time! I’m downloading this time. Thanks for the tip.
