Blogs are a good tool to explore how content is changing.  Blogs give many options for people to read any large number of topics they may be interested in.  This could be used to explore what is new the mathematics research world. 

Survey Monkey:

Alternative choice for asynchronous "discussion" 

This is a great way to collect and analyze data.  Students can answer anonymously, and it is easy to share results with the class to generate discussions.

Wikipedia

useful for upper level math topics 

Wikipedia is a great resource for looking up specific questions in mathematics.  The content is accurate and gives a great explanation of many higher level topics. Thus is a student did not have a textbook covering a particular topic, they could reference wikipedia to answer their questions.
