Hi DeskAway,

I am loving loving loving DeskAway.  We started to set up at Basecamp, until we ran into 2 show stoppers: not being able to template projects, and the fact that once a task is clicked “done”, it disappears!

My immediate team is just thrilled with DeskAway!  I believe when my clients log in next week, they will feel the same. My job is as administrator for several large scientific conferences, where our attendees come from 40 or more countries - my job is global, why can’t my services be?

To you all at DeskAway, I say: keep doing a good job!  BE THERE!  STAY THERE!

Its great to see that since last year our team has come a long way in providing powerful business software to business all around the world. Thank you for this note. This keeps us powered.

If you are tired of having to remember too many usernames and passwords for the various sites that you would like to gain access to, then you do have a solution. OpenID lets you login to thousands of OpenID-enabled sites with one username and password.

Deskaway now has integrated its login to OpenID:

Logging in through OpenID is simple and takes very little time. Your OpenID address is similar to a website address (www.batman.openid.net).

1. Get yourself an OpenID from an OpenID provider like myopenid.com or check out a list of all providers at openid.net. It’s free and easy to use.

2. Login into your DeskAway Account with your DeskAway username and password and on top of the page, you will see the ‘My Account’ link.  From this list click on ‘Setup OpenID’.

3. Enter your OpenID address and click the ‘Set OpenID’ button to map your DeskAway login to your OpenID.

4. You will be taken to the OpenID provider’s page to authenticate. Authentication needs to be done only once and it shall enable you to login into your DeskAway account using your OpenID. Check the box below in case you wish to stay signed in.

5. Now, logout. On the login page, instead of logging in through your DeskAway login username and password, click the ‘Login using OpenID’ link.

6. Enter your OpenID Address and click ‘Sign in’.

7. In the case you are already verified with your OpenID provider you will be automatically authenticated and taken to the Dashboard page. If you have not authenticated with your OpenID provider, you will be prompted to enter your password just once.

That’s it! you are now logged in to your DeskAway Dashboard through your OpenID. You can always choose to login using your username and password from the login page.

Most popular sites today are OpenID-enabled - relieving you from the need to remember one more login detail.

Best way to get more done in the same amount of time is to delegate and outsource your non-core work and focus on the core - the stuff that helps your business grow! As Michael Gerber, author of the popular entrepreneurship book The E-Myth” said - “work on your business and not in it”.

Learn how Justin Brooke from Sitefling.com outsources almost all of his internet marketing company’s traffic generation work to the Philippines to grow his business and uses DeskAway to delegate and manage tasks.
