Backpack
Many of us who colaborate on the web find it difficult to keep ideas and projects organized. 37signals has a suite of productivity applications available but for this post I am concentrating on one: Backpack.
Backpack has a newsroom to keep track of activites going on with your team. You can make customized pages with which you can setup notes, todo lists and more. There is a calendar that can centralize everyone’s activities and also be used to schedule meetings. You can also use it to centralize discussions. I can not tell you how many times that I have said to an associate, “Do you have a log from that messenger conversation that we had?” I find the disscussion feature really handy. You can also set reminders that go to either an email address or text a user’s cell phone. Check out the intro video below for more information. There is a free (limited) account available, and different tiers of accounts available all with free trials.
