There are thousands of tools and platforms such as online conference systems\, blogs\, wikis\, chat rooms\, forums\, social networks\, social bookmarking sites\, files sharing\, etc.\, which allow small and big groups to work together for a common goal. Many profit and non-profit organizations are using such tools for communication and collaboration with their internal and external stakeholders. In the future\, most workshops\, seminars\, conferences will have a virtual component. Other events will be entirely online.
