Planzone: A Collaborative Tool that Makes Juggling Easy

A few months ago, I was desperate to find a collaborative project app, so I explored a number of those that had been discussed here at WWD. I was either underwhelmed or daunted by the learning curve (too busy/too lazy). So what I ended up doing was finding a basic mind map to use for brain downloads and to-do items, and creating a Google Group for my team to communicate and use as a shared idea repository. I already had some other stuff for a separate, but related project on Google Docs. Not too efficient. And I am now of the opinion that Google Groups and Docs are totally lame (that’s “woefully inadequate” in good English).
Fortunately, I just discovered Planzone, a new online collaborative project management and productivity tool launched in June 2008. It’s designed for people who need to schedule and monitor multiple resources (clients, partners and vendors, as well as physical spaces or other assets) and tasks in a project.
And, yes, there is a full-featured, free plan that includes two projects, 25 MB of storage, unlimited users, and SSL.
