This is exactly why we started PeerPort.us (www.peerport.us), to provide virtual teams (which includes remote workers) with integrated tools (unlimited audio and web conferencing, document storage, action item tracking, messaging and calendaring) in an SaaS environment that requires little or no training. Our customers are using it for distributed sales teams, business partner channels, virtual project teams, supplier networks and customer interaction. Rebecca,

It provides a service for converting voice messages to text, enabling the user to create short text messages or lists. The accuracy of the transcription is pretty good, although names (especially foreign names) need to be spelled for most accurate transcription.

One of the other things we see a strong need for in virtual collaboration (something my company does a lot of) is a way to easily manage projects and tasks across virtual teams. We wanted a solution that wasn't too complex for normal people (non-techies) to use, and wound up developing our own (ClientSpot) which is now in it's second year, and helping lots of mostly entrepreneurial customers to collaborate on projects.

Quite a few I'd heard of (and use) but some I haven't and will check out (Teamviewer, DimDim, Read The Words). I also agree that Twitter is fast becoming my main way of finding out remote working tips. I write a blog about RW and related technologies so it's great to be able to 'read people's thoughts'! I also use Yammer for internal tweeting, Google reader as my RSS reader and Tripit for recording where I'm going. Marieke Hi Rebecca,
