Some recent posts at the 37signals Product Blog:
Using Campfire as a note-taking solution and for Getting Things Done
“I feel that Campfire’s excellent real-time record keeping ability, multiple chat room (or page) features, access options, and file management tools are ideal for not only the GTD system but point-of-contact record keeping.”
PluggedOut to “groupware” app customers: “Basecamp provides everything you might need”
“If you’re working in a ‘wide area network’ on a project, it’s essential to have somewhere central that all news, updates, milestones, tasks and such like can be pooled. Basecamp provides everything you might need.”

on 27 Sep 07I am doing an interesting course in Project Management at DePaul this quarter. The material covered in the course is mainly geared to Critical Chain, Theory of Constraint concepts and PMBOK and its project management Body of Knowledge.
I dont believe that body (PMBOK) covers the day to day “Project Management” that we are all faced with, for which web 2.0 tools such as TADA, Campfire and the incredible plethora of IM, social network tools that have sprung up in the recent years are a testament of need or gap.
My question to you (Jason/David and team) is how can we go about helping PMBOK scale down to the need of real people. Or can we develop a PMBOK that is for the little people?.
I happened to read an interesting article that uses semantics to dispute using big words when it comes to Project Management, ( http://www.logisticstoday.com/displayStory.asp?sNO=8661 ).

on 28 Sep 07I really wish you’d stop with these product blog updates.
How large part of the subscribers of your product blog is also subscribers of SvN? I’m guessing quite a lot, and you’re giving all of them the information twice.

on 28 Sep 07Re. the Tips for Backpack, I see this person’s tricks isn’t able to solve the table print problem either (I submitted it as a bug weeks ago to the 37s email box, never received a response, contrary to everything that is preached in this blog). To see the problem, go to a Backpack page and print it out or view a print preview. The table borders are gone and text size is whacked.
I like the product blog updates, keep them coming!

A pretty small % actually. Given that, we think it’s ok to post one Product Blog update a week here. Feel free to skip it if you’re already up to speed. Thanks for subscribing to both feeds though!

on 28 Sep 07Since i’m trying to cut down on the RSS noise, I’ll probably unsubscribe the product blog and read the updates more thoroughly. ;) Just make sure you announce it if you decide to stop with the updates. :)
