A new set of video testimonials for 37signals and Basecamp is out. I recently started using Basecamp for a project (the first time I’ve officially used the product, and I didn’t even have to convince the client–someone else did). It has been a dream to use, simple, intuitive, and everything else you look for in a project tool, and yet I am not sure it will end up being effective. The only reason it might not be useful is if (drum roll please) people don’t use it. One of the great advantages of Microsoft products over the past couple of decades is that there hasn’t been any alternative for many functions, so people are forced to use their products; without competition, they evolve and grow with no effective criticism from users. Now that there’s something much, much better than SharePoint available for project work, I hope Microsoft will feel the pressure.
