Asynchronous messaging

Our team could use the asynchronous messaging system and not have to wait for a response because they can rely on the messaging infrastructure to ensure delivery. Unlike synchronous messaging, asynchronous messaging allows people to communicate reliably even if one of the parties is unavailable. With services such as Email, Forums, Fax and blogs, it would be easier for our team to collaborate. Email would be the first option for our team. Leaving each other mail and files to download on providers like Gmail could ensure reliable delivery and keep record of sent and received mail. Using blogs to communicate past and future plans is another example of how our team could collaborate. Blogs have the availability to show an idea or thought very effectively through text, images and online videos. Faxes could be used to send each other instant printed messages such as notes or drawings. Our team could use forums to discuss issues relating to our project, such as problems encountered and solved.
