Okay, so not all of our readers were impressed with my glowing reference to Cnet.com (yawn, been there, done that) but surely some young lawyers will find this tip useful.  I recently discovered Etherpad. 

Etherpad provides, by its own description, real-time collaborative text editing.  In short, as long as everyone has a computer with access to the web, individuals can essentially have a web meeting to write and work on a document together.  The best part is that the basic service is free and does not require registration (a drawback to a similarly useful application from Google). 

Lots of potential uses for this website come to mind including live collaboration between experts and lawyers on Rule 26 disclosures, working live with clients on discovery responses, etc.  Check it out.  It's free.
