The 2.0 applications that make the grade
There are a lot of web applications that are released everyday but not a lot of them are worth writing home about. These are 3 applications that meet all the expectations users have:
Basecamp: There are many project management things on the internet but Basecamp is probably the cream of them all. It has more than a million users and the price structure is pretty decent. It is fairly business ready so you can get things done quickly. It has something called a Writeboard which lets people cut and paste text so that documents can be formed in collaboration. It also has e-mail reminders and also has RSS custom feeds. You can also download your dates to you calendar so you can’t claim that you forgot.
Remember the Milk: If you are the kind who forgets to send out instructions or reply to client’s mails then this is the application for you. It is a to-do list that fits into your Gmail inbox so that you can’t put off sending that reply anymore. The website interface lets you map the items to different locations, record things etc and all this is available for $ 25 a year. Not a bad deal, I say.
Wufoo: This one is extremely interesting. It helps you do the stuff that you’ll probably find yourself incompetent at. You can draft a petition online, make an RSVP invitation in AJAX style. There a whole host of colors and templates to choose from. It organizes all your data so you can manipulate and filter it to your content.
These applications actually make the grade and are highly innovative. These 2.0 web applications are a league apart from the mass of applications that are released everyday and can make life a whole lot easier for people whose lives circle around the internet.
