    Abstract

    Gossip is a simple communication tool that facilitates the exchange of thoughts between people over an AppleTalk computer network. It can be best used as a discussion tool where everyone has the chance to react instantaneously and simultaneously to remarks made by others, without interfering with each other. Some differences between collaborative communication tools are discussed.
