How do you sort through all the collaboration tools that are available? Business Pundit recently spotlighted a list of 10 Best Collaborative Web Tools for Business. While not all of these tools are suitable for small companies, many are worth taking a look at.

The top-ranked company on the list, Office Medium, is offering SmallBizDaily readers an extended free trial. Sign up with four or more people, and get a three-month free trial instead of the usual one month. Just e-mail  support@officemedium.com with the subject line “PROMO” and “SmallBizDaily” as the body of the e-mail.
