Review: Basecamp for Project Management
For the past year or so we have been using Basecamp which is a web app created by 37signals. We use it primarily as a way to manage the projects that our editors are working on.
With it, you can send/receive files and create due dates and have them automagically sent to the editor when the due date is getting near.. it also has become a great time saver in that there are fewer places for me to look for items like emails, most up to date project files, and a streamlined conversation.
One thing I did not mention in the video is the RSS feed option… you can subscribe to the feed and if/when there are changes/updates to the project, you will be updated -automagically- via your feed reader.
The other thing I mentioned in the video was Groundwork which is the app for the iPhone. I purchased it but haven’t used it enough to love it or hate it. I really like the format – the only thing that I wish was that the other web apps I use could all “speak” to each other. All in good time, I guess…
Speaking of all in good time, I did get my hair cut since my last post… my wife thinks I’m cute again.
