Variety Club of Great Britain uses Basecamp to help disadvantaged children

Campfire
Virb can’t imagine life without Campfire
“I honestly can’t see how our team ever did without it. Campfire is open in a browser tab all day long. It’s launched when the day begins on the east coast and isn’t closed until the last left coast’er signs off in the evening. We fire-up iChat for group audio chats several times a day, but otherwise, no project communication happens outside of ‘the campfire’.”

Getting Real
Budget tracking app creator: “I made a better product because of Getting Real”
“Everything I did, every decision I made, every piece of code I wrote (or didn’t write) went automatically through the ‘Getting Real’ filter and I genuinely believe I made a better product because of it. And more fundamentally, I made something!”

Timetoast: Getting Real was instrumental in our development process
“I think if you want to start getting real, you need to redefine your concept of project success and go from there. You’ll begin to understand why the traditional ways of developing an application rely too heavily on the end product and not on how you’re actually going to get there. You’ll find yourself dropping features and watch in horror as your app turns into a jumbled-up mess that doesn’t do any one thing particularly well, but lots of things badly.”
