Abstract :
A survey is conducted to compare three different real-time groupware systems on some selected features. It has shown that with the advancement of Web 2.0 technologies, browser-based real-time groupware can now offer a level of functionality, interactivity, and graphical user interface more akin to their traditional, desktop-based counterparts. Users seem to feel quite comfortable with their use. Such browser-based groupware may have provided an approach to address the adoption hurdle facing groupware for a long time.
