Meetups. User groups. Study groups. Mastermind groups or peer mentoring groups.

There are different kinds of groups and teams outside of work environment. Have you started any?

What is your advice for starting and growing such group? How to make group healthy in the long run?

There is an endless supply of books about building and running successful teams IN workplace. Could you recommend any good resources for running groups and teams OUTSIDE work?

Recently I have seen very complex "wedding excel", large spreadsheet file with many sheets dedicated to tracking tasks and information related to wedding preparation. As usual, excel file was shared via email and versioned manually ... :)

There was no special feature which required desktop version - it would be piece of cake to accomplish same task using web alternative (for example Google Docs). And a lot faster.

My question is: what makes you switch from desktop to web application?

Compared to desktop most web apps provide less features, but do not require installation, provide new features like "use everywhere", cloud storage and sometimes Ehterpad-like synchronization. However with services like DropBox cloud storage is not that big advantage any more.

So what was the killer feature which recently convinced you to abandon desktop <insert your favourite application here> and start using web app?
