This is a tool that I usually introduces in the Classroom of the Future. Tools such as this just opens a variety of possibilities in collaborative learning online. As the technology advances and allows better bandwidth access to the cloud, learning could take place in an even more interactive and collaborative manner.
bubbl.us is free for use (please read their terms and conditions) but more importantly, enables you to share and collaboratively create ideas and knowledge. Mindmaps could be shared with groups of team mates, and each are able to contribute to the same map. The maps could then be published on blogs (such as the example here) and this poses a powerful idea on content and knowledge syndication. Using the web not just for content sharing, but applications sharing as well.
Digital natives are already well versed in this technology, peppering their personal blog sites with a variety of widgets and gadgets to add-on new features. But using this 'plug-in' methodology will also means learning could leverage on different tools available (polls, picture gallery, interactive maps, collaborative mindmaps), but presented in a single document (blog).
