Cyn.in is a Web 2.0 tool used for business of all sizes who wish to collaborate on knowledge and communicate more efficiently. There are three versions of this tool to choose from; On Demand and On Premise are downloadable for a fee and the community version is free. Once a member, businesses are able to blog, have live discussions, store files, share calendar events and images, or create a wiki. I thought this tool would be a perfect practice tool for the wiki I am working on for my Action Research project. A WYSIWYG content editor takes the content you wish to put in your wiki and formats it for you. For someone who is unfamiliar with creating a wiki, I think this is a real attraction. The File Repository is also a great feature offered on Cyn.in, Documents, spreadsheets, media, or files are securely stored and indexed. Access privileges can be controlled for the space or for individual files, which is perfect for my needs. Since some much of the information I work with contains individual’s personal information, it must be handled safely. Another great feature I found while touring the Cyn-in tool is the scheduled Publishing $ Expiry. This is a feature that will publish and expire content at predefined times. In my work, policies and procedures for many types of aid are changed every July when the new Federal Aid year begins. Being able to expire and archive documents when the new policies are set to come out would save and enormous amount of time and effort. There was no end it seemed to what this tool could do for businesses and I am very happy that I came across it. Check it out for yourself at http://www.cynapse.com/cynin/features.
