37 Signals

I have been using 37 Signals Backpack for a while now, and I have to say that it is as advertised: Simple software that does just what you need. It’s easy to use and does help one get organized. I have tons of digital flotsam scattered across /home directories, websites, email, etc. Once I started pulling all that data together and being able to access it in one location I was not only saving allot of time, but I had a better handle on what I was working on.

Conversely I found Basecamp, 37 Signals project management software cumbersome and unwieldily. It definitely did not do what I needed and just what I needed. In fact it did things that I didn’t need and did not have some of the functionality that it’s little brother - Backpack - does.

So I use Backpack to keep my projects organized, the only problem is that 37 Signals terms say that you cannot share you Backpack account, so even if you like it better ( and are paying $20 a month for the premium version ) then Basecamp you have to use software that does not fit your needs as well if you want to have multiple people login to your backpack account.

So it is not exactly just what I needed….
