A quick roundup of the most useful web-based tools for designers and developers, as debated at a NEWDA (New England Web Developers Association) gathering last night:

skype
freeconferencecall.com
basecamp
campfire
harvest
box.net
glance.net
google docs

For vetting potential co-workers and maintaining better (emotional) connection:
Linkedin
facebook
twitter
individual blogs

A video of the evening's presentation, "Using Web Tools to Build Virtual Teams" will soon be available on the NEWDA site as presented by Jonathon Follett, of Hot Knife Design, an insightful contributor to A List Apart.

Thanks for the shout-out to Harvest! Another tool we released here for virtual teams is called Co-op. It's a fast way to privately update everyone on the team about what you're working on!

Thanks for including Glance! Anyone can try it for free, just head to glance.net. It's the simplest way to share your screen.
