Wiggio.com for Groups to Gather?

So, I've been trying out this wiggio.com with two friends. It is a free website that incorporates zoho.com to share documents and images and edit them with friends, team mates or other students. It's a place for groups to collaborate and meet up online for group projects.

I've tried out the messages services it offers such as the sticky notes, voice chat (easy record controls), text and email. The two draw backs I see for some is the need to post your cell numbers. This is so members can receive text messages or voice chats when you want to send a group message out to all the members. I ask, "How secure is this? It may be fine" The batch import option in wiggio lets you batch import your contact information from email services such as gmail and yahoo. When I tried it-the little wheel just spun and spun. Seems like this feature may not be working well. Plus! Here we go again sharing content all over the web and some members might not appreciate it.

Always ask first before you give out other people's information, please. Still, it has possibilities and seems to be suited for the multi-tasking, multi-talented teen and students we see around us today.
