Despite the advent of cloud computing, and the prevalence of applications such as GoogleDocs and Gmail, few laboratory specific applications have appeared. We will present a new platform that promises to rethink the ways scientists collect, store, share and learn from scientific observations by fully embracing the cloud philosophy.  Reimagining ChemDraw for a new platform led to new ways of driving scientific collaboration. In a similar vein we have assembled a novel environment that allows scientists to gather information about their experiments,  document the results, share knowledge and discuss the implications of their knowledge. Through annotations and comments within a project, scientists can collaborate in real time to try out new ideas while they share suggestions and explore new directions. By leveraging the power of crowd-sourcing we are able to rapidly adapt to changing needs and environment and optimize the full user experience from novice through user to advocate.
