The people over at
37 Signals
, the makers of Basecamp, have started an affiliate program. I recommend them. They certainly don’t need any more buzz than they already have, but here’s my take:
- Not fussy. Nothing is that big of a deal on Basecamp. Everything is just sort of another thing to do. Lots of other project management or productivity software goes nuts with alarms, warnings, exceptions, etc.
- Focus-Collaborative. It allows people to store and share and collaborate with a goal in mind (as opposed to just a weblog or wiki or message board)
- Email-alicious. This is the killer app– email and thread-storage are the same thing. No mind-melting trope-changing copy/paste needed
I use Basecamp for managing all of my side projects, for keeping key info I need later (directions for hosting account, domain name details, etc. I also use it for storing documentation on what the hell it is that I did when I made that TypePad template that delivers just headlines on the Category Page, for instance.
Go get.
