  • Campfirenow.com – “Campfire is like instant messaging, but designed exclusively for groups. Campfire is a web-based group chat tool that lets you set up password-protected chat rooms in just seconds. Invite a client, colleague, or vendor to chat, collaborate, and make decisions. Link to a room on your intranet for internal communications.”
    Share text, files, and code in real time. Save transcripts so you don’t forget.”
  • Highrisehq.com – “Highrise is the answer to the avalanche: So many people, phone calls, emails, notes, follow-ups, and tasks. Who is this person again? When did we last speak? What did we talk about? Has anyone else in my company talked to this person? What’s supposed to happen next? Highrise keeps track of it all.”

Video. There are several testimonial videos on the Basecamp website. These videos are of excellent quality technically and also they contain what seem to be genuine and sincere people. This one is especially effective and it begins with what seems to be a genuine and non-scripted video clip.
