Anthony Brewitt: “Basecamp Changed My Design Process”
If you’re a designer who uses Basecamp, you may find Brewitt’s approach interesting. The post offers a detailed analysis of how he uses Basecamp throughout his design process. “Its changed my design process forever, improving communication with my clients and allowing me to easily run multiple design projects.”

Virtual assistant for realtors calls Basecamp “phenomenal”
“My favorite feature of Basecamp is the ‘Dashboard’ and the fact that tasks that are due can be assigned to different associates, but we can all see if they are past due. I also like the fact that my Realtor clients can log in 24/7 without playing ‘seek and find’ – from the minute they log in, they can see an overview of all their projects, what’s been done, and what’s coming up. I believe this feature allows us to retain clients that are nervous about ‘virtual’ assistance, it gives them a glimpse into our ‘office’.”

Basecamp
Bring Basecamp to your iPhone or iPod Touch with Outpost (just updated to 1.0.2)
David Kaneda of Morfunk says, “We released Outpost 1.0.2 last week to a really great response — it seems we’ve finally nailed most crashes, etc.”

Highrise
Highrise tip: Assign “Later” tasks a specific date/time so they pop up again
A simple tip to help you get “Later” tasks back on your conveyor belt: Assign them a specific time. Doesn’t really matter when — it can be any random time in the future. The goal here is just to get the task to pop up again so you’re reminded that it has to be done. That way it doesn’t just lie there with your other “Later” tasks forever.

Backpack
Backpack max plan now fits 500 users
We’ve raised the user limit on the max plan for Backpack to 500 users. This is a five-fold increase from the previous limit of 100. Now Backpack should fit even more companies and accommodate the needs of all the customers we have that were nudging up against the previous limit.

“A guide to personal productivity” that uses Backpack to stay organized
“Backpack – This is the cornerstone of everything. A super simple, web-based organisation tool that is so flexible it can accommodate almost any work flow you can think of.”

Campfire
A Campfire to Jabber interface
Attention developers: There’s a newly released Campfire to Jabber interface. This is a simple script that will forward messages from a Campfire room to a Jabber account, and vice versa. (Jabber is an open instant messaging technology that anyone can use.)

Getting Real
“Getting Real reminds small businesses why they shouldn’t try to overcomplicate things”
Tobias Christensen wrote to us, “I read your book Getting Real, and found it brilliant!...From my own experience I know it’s really easy to overcomplicate things, as your company grows you start adding various control mechanisms, and before you know it your implementing controls mechanisms to control your control mechanisms. Getting Real reminds small businesses why they should stay lean and agile, and why they shouldn’t try to overcomplicate things.”

Highrise
Highrise one of “Top 10 most useful webapps of 2008”
“Highrise became a big-small contender in the CRM space this year by adding Deal tracking and full data export. Not to mention, no CRM comes close to making it this easy to keep track of your contacts in detail. After falling off the wagon with Salesforce (multiple times), SugarCRM, and PipelineDeals, Highrise is the only one that became critical to my day-to-day activites at work.”

Newsberry, a service to send and track email newsletters, integrates with Highrise
“With Highrise Sync enabled, Newsberry will automatically sync contacts in Highrise to subscribers in your list. All changes in your Highrise account will be visible in your Newsberry contacts list in which you enabled Highrise Sync.”

Highrise
[Case study] How record producer Bill Moriarty uses Highrise to keep track of album projects
“Despite living in the same city we rarely see each other in person, we barely have meetings, we don’t have conference calls, we don’t do IM… Highrise is where everything goes. It’s how Chris & I stay in sync with what was said, what was promised, potential projects, and where I’m currently in an album’s progress. If we worked only in email all these vital communications would just be lost in the email noise. Using Highrise makes us focus just on what’s important to making records and running our company.”

Using Highrise export as an offline backup
“We were recently talking to a customer who occasionally needs to access information in Highrise while he’s offline. His solution: He exports all his data from Highrise every few weeks so he’s got an offline backup on his hard drive.”

Basecamp
How Ice-Qube Preparedness System founder relies on Basecamp
“Basecamp has enabled me to function like a big company, makes the most effecient use of my time, gives me the most information I could want to supervise and access my teams participation, serves as the ultimate back up and makes sense of my wild mind and ultimately grows my business.”

[Case Study] The Vianova Group President on “the ‘less is more’ streamlined eloquence that is Basecamp”
“Reluctantly I set up my first project which was a large-scale fundraising event involving a large and diverse committee of staff and volunteers.  Much to my surprise the entire group began using Basecamp immediately. More importantly, there are significant intangible team benefits to the “less is more” streamlined eloquence that is Basecamp.  My clients frequently tell me how much they appreciate us giving them a highly effective tool that is so easy to use.”

“New Journal of Physics” article mentions Basecamp
Scientist Darran Edmundson, of EDM Studio, Inc., wrote an article for “New Journal of Physics” that includes a couple of mentions of Basecamp.

Basecamp
How INTO uses Basecamp as a content management system and wireframing tool
“Upon browsing 37signals we saw three letters on the footer, “API,” we did a quick search for a way to connect to the backdoor of our favorite web application. After seeing the available data and the need for a simple server-side CMS that worked like Basecamp, we figured why not just use Basecamp as a CMS. We’re a transparent company, so if it works — use it. We did, and we’re happy to say it works great.”

A script checks Basecamp, sees what new news posts are available, then writes a new content file and refreshes it for the next visit.

Periscope Gadget: “Basecamp control on iGoogle & in GMail too”
“I really needed (and wanted) a simple way to punch-in to a project I was busy on; work; then punch-out and write a quick description of what I did. It’s really important to me to charge my clients by the minute: who wants to be charged 1hr of my time for a small copy change that really only took me 4 minutes to do? Enter Periscope.”

Highrise
Author uses Highrise to manage contacts (and integrates it with HelpSpot too)
“I’m using it with my assistants to manage the contacts for the marketing of my new best selling book Blog Blazers. Not only does it allow us to manage who’s who, we also use it to manage who’s been sent books to review, who to follow-up with, and when to follow-up with them. Basically it’s a great tool to keep track of our marketing efforts for the book. I can’t imagine being without it! What’s also very exciting for us is that we use HelpSpot to manage internal emails, and they’ve created an integration plugin for Highrise right into their products. So as we email people, we can do what’s called a ‘Live Lookup’ right into the software and get the benefits of Highrise with our email client.”

Multiple products
[Case study] BootStudio uses 37signals tools to build websites for large organizations in Central America
“We’ve found that the most value can be obtained from these collaboration apps when everyone can easily find the information they need, when they need it. In order to achieve this, all team members need to be clear on where different items should be posted. Consistency is the name of the game, and over time our team has developed naming schemes that make it easier for us to know where to look for things later. Thinking carefully about the information architecture of the things we can customize in these tools — category names, project labeling schemes, message titles, etc. — has made a big difference in how usable (and useful) they are to us and to our clients.”
