"We have this big thing about embracing constraints. When you have constraints -- less time, less money -- people care about every dollar they spend”

-Jason Fried, Founder of 37Signals creator of Basecamp

What is Basecamp?

Basecamp is a simple-to- use web-based tool for managing and collaborating on projects.

Basecamp is an example of a new wave of Internet applications that promote collaboration through effective interface design, leveraging cost effective online digital storage space and the functionality broadband networks are able to deliver.

Why is Basecamp useful?

-It is a simple and clever way to manage the sharing of information regarding a project across multiple locations and team members

What are Basecamp’s drawbacks?
