With a title like, An Unlikely FREE Collaboration Management App, I just had to read Chris Brogan’s post on Lifehack.org Friday. Have I missed one, I thought? I’ve used Basecamp, pbwiki, Zoho, Blogger, WordPress, Netvibes, Remember The Milk and others, with various success. My login names are littered across numerous sites.
Facebook, Brogan was going on about Facebook. His argument,
“I thought about this today. Here’s what you get with Facebook and their 3rd party apps:
- Email client.
- Status client.
- Groups - which permits 1-to-many messaging, discussion threads, im-like interaction.
- RSS support to import your team’s blogs (Your team isn’t blogging?), wikis, etc
- Calendar / Event app.
- Twitter app.
- Flickr app.
- News feed that tells you what people in your “friends” (your team, in our case) have done differently with their account lately.”
For me, I use Facebook’s Inbox more than my own Outlook. Staff asking me questions about my status line in the morning. In fact, nearly all of my team are on Facebook.
