Federal Computer Week, Government Computer News and Washington Technology have joined forces again to take a look at one topic from three perspectives. This time, we focus on collaboration. FCW is looking at what agencies are using Web 2.0 tools to share information and how they use them. GCN explains how agencies are making use of new software and hardware tools to bring text, voice and video collaboration down to the laptop level.
