The point of this article is to examine the question of why people aren't collaborating online. But I challenge that assumption. I spend a good chunk of every day reading and writing email to people around the world. This, to me, counts as collaboration. Why must we assume, as the author does, that collaborating online means buying expensive collaboration software? The business case for this software is not nearly as clear as the author assumes: if a good email will do the trick, why schedule a multipoint internet conference. Let's use common sense here.
