Formally in the pre-Viewer2 era, many Secondlife users went to extreme measures to prevent their avatar from automatically logging out. Few knew that in the viewer itself it was possible to disable the session timeout.
In the advanced menu, use: ctrl + alt + d to unhide the menu. Then navigate: character > character tests > and uncheck Go Away/AFK Idle.
THis simple little trick would allow the user to remain logged in for as long as they pleased.
But in SL Viewer2 this option is missing form the advanced menu. It took me a while but after a bit of researching and investigation I found in preferences[ctrl + p] in the general tab, away timeout, and if you set that to 'never' the effect is the same as unchecking Go Away/AFK Idle.

Collaborating Effectively
A lot of the buzz online lately has been collaboration tools, and group management. Many have heard of the power of the Google apps suite. Its hard to imagine but it just got better!
With the previous versions of Google docs users could share documents, and collaborate online in almost real time. The updated suite now has the capability to transmit character by character of what one user types to all of the the collaborators.

Google docs continues to amaze me, I hope you can find it as valuable as I have.
