The cloud model is opening up entire new ways of doing things. Web 1.0 was push/broadcast/repository. Web 1.5 was online retail and commerce. Web 2.0 was social media/crowdsourcing/co-authoring games and gaming. I think Web 3.0 is the cloud. It is an entirely new order-of-magnitude shift to a new model of information and tools.
So, I'm just going to list some interesting cloud-enabled tools for now and keep adding to the list:
General
Wikis - we use Confluence, so teams can collaborate on documents
Shared File Systems - DropBox, box.net, SugarSync, mobile.me, iCloud
Multi-function team collaboration - Huddle
Specific
Edistorm - online stickie notes http://www.edistorm.com/
Doodle - online polling for meetings
Zoomerang - online surveys
Other notable
Sharepoint - Microsoft's multi-function team sharing - not in the cloud, but sort of in a private cloud - I don't like it, but it is a "corporate standard".
iCloud - what will this be?
Citrix - is not SaaS is PaaS or IaaS but seems to be coming at cloud as a good competitor to VMware, keep watching
