This week we ran a blog item from editor Eric Chabrow about Google's new Web-based collaborative software, Google Sites, and what it means for CIOs.

Google Sites is yet another online offering that workers can use without IT's blessing. With the growing influence of Web 2.0 collaborative tools and software as a service, CIOs are increasingly finding themselves left out of IT decision making.

We asked for your feedback, and the responses poured in. Most say the move to Web-based tools like these is inevitable. Join the discussion: what does it mean for you, as a CIO or IT leader?
