DevUnity is compelling take on collaborative coding. Usually, coding projects involving multiple programmers are mediated by platforms like Subversion and Sourceforge. The advantage that code repositories have is that you have strong control over versioning and can revert if something goes wrong. DevUnity (which is currently in Alpha) takes the Google Docs approach to collaboration.

It allows you to share your code, tag sections, work simultaneously with other developers without leaving the editor and assign bug lists and to-do across the team.

In addition, it also has a feature that will automatically implement common APIs including Google, Amazon and Flickr. This idea has a lot of potential, especially for problems that involve a remote team. Being able to watch code revisions in real time could do a lot to speed development, and catch problems before they are committed to code.
