Monday afternoon I was able to attend this session of MAX led by Nigel Pegg. The first thing he mentioned is a free collaborative tool they have created using Cocomo called Connect Now. It's a pretty durn nice piece of software especially for small/medium size companies and includes video/audio streaming capabilities. Cocomo is described as a PaaS (Platform as a Service) built for real time collaboration. The Cocomo SDK for Flex is designed to make it simple to share areas and inputs. I have signed up for a developer license but haven't had a chance to really play with it yet. I'll post back here about it once I have had a chance to do so. They allow the sharing of inputs etc. with a Batton property, basically when someone has control of an input no one else can get access to it until they are finished. Cocomo rooms (using the developer license) can be built to share user status, roles, webcams, VoIP (using the Speex Codec), documents, media etc. It even allows direct client to client streaming as of flash 10.
The Cocomo Dev Console (which is where you go once you sign in using your account) allows you to configure rooms, enter rooms, etc. For more information go here and read the FAQ!
