Web 2.0 Journal Case Study: Transcending E-mail as a Platform for Multi-Person Collaboration
E-mail is extremely easy to adopt and use, and lends itself very well to certain types of collaboration. When two people are attempting to collaborate asynchronously, e-mail is usually the best solution. It's certainly far less frustrating than phone tag. But once more people are involved, email's utility rapidly degenerates. While the rise of free, open-source solutions makes it tempting to build one's own collaboration tools, on-demand or Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions are the better choice for the majority of users and uses.
Email is still the most popular project collaboration tool - this is right. But its many draw backs are not the reason to give up on your favouite communication medium. As, you have noticed in your article, SaaS are offering more and more options for collaboration, one of them is project management software integrated with email. Our idea is to build projects by simply emailing your tasks to the system.
