Basecamp

Basecamp - we use it.. We love it. I don't know how we would manage the few clients we have without it. What is it? I would call it a project collaboration system. Why is it good? It's web based, it's inexpensive, it works, it's simple, it makes us more productive, it makes us look more professional. It lets you share ideas, files, notes, messages, etc. with your clients. It has RSS feeds and built in chat. It JUST WORKS! Check it out.

Rescue Time

We have been having a hard time with time management - tracking your hours and minutes can be difficult, especially when you are running several small projects at once and working on them all in one day. Right now we are using myhours.com - but this imminent offering from Rescue Time looks very interesting. We have signed up to hear about the launch and will be checking it out once it does.
