I did a quick search for "best web 2.0 tools" and the second hit was a link to Kathy Schrock's Teaching Tools, hosted by Discovery Education. I'm sure you've heard of many of the tools mentioned, but the link is worth a visit to (1) find some tools that you perhaps hadn't heard of and/or (2) get quick ideas on how some of the tools familiar to you can be used for instructional purposes.
For instance, I've never heard of EtherPad, but the idea of a free, real-time, no sign-up required collaborative note-taking tool has some potential. For a group brainstorming session or conference call notes, this could have some real merit. I continue to be amazed at what's out there and, as apps like this and Twitter prove, the application itself doesn't have to be terribly complex.
