DeskAway was recently reviewed by 20:20 Social a social business strategy firm based in India. They provide solutions for Indian and international clients.

We found the interface easy to use, clean and inviting. It was easy to get started without really digging deep into the How To tutorial /video and it was nice to see how tips and tutorials were generously placed on various pages but with the option of closing them all in one go in case you felt confident of finding your way around independently.

Always feel that a tabbed view makes an app largely clutter free and easy to navigate and at the same time allows a lot of features to be packaged in well. DeskAway scores high marks on this account and makes good use of a tabbed UI and frames.

Thanks Abha and the 20:20 Social team!

My blackberry went off again non-stop with people signing up at 6:30am IST. I thought maybe Techcrunch wrote about us! Nope, thats never happened and I don’t know why (maybe they are too US-centric). My RSS feed picked it up and amazingly, Web Worker Daily, a really well-written blog of web apps, productivity news and stuff for the “web worker” reviewed DeskAway once again - DeskAway Embraces the Social Turn, Adds More Personalization Options. The stuff that we churned out last week was now there for everyone to see and try out. Very cool. The first time they reviewed us in May 2008 was here.

Thank you Darell Etherington & Web Worker Daily! Hope your readers find the new DeskAway social features useful. There is lots more to come in the next few months.

In continuation with my discussion on project management 2.0, here is a slide that talks about the difference between the old and the new way of managing projects. Online collaboration tools are going to become more and more social.
