What exactly is Collaboration?

In my previous post, I quoted:

Collaboration is, in fact, the proper use of SharePoint.

So, what exactly is Collaboration?

This link from Microsoft explains it all.

The following are most commonly used by customers:

1. Real-time presence and communication
2. People and Groups lists
3. Calendars
4. E-mail integration
5. Task coordination
6. Document collaboration
7. Issue Tracking

PS: Personally, I see no point in having Wikis and Blogs. I seldom push these 2 features.
