Collaboration relies on a public, shared workspace where information can be created and used by all of the members of a particular group. One of the most popular collaborative types is electronic discussion database, which is also called electronic forum. E-forums enable people to participate in an electronic discussion from different location as well as at different times. When you post a message to an e-forum, it is available for all the other participants to see. If someone answers your
message, it's like a phone caller on a radio talk show, and his or her response is heard by all participants.
