  2. Basecamp + Writeboards = Great Document Collab. by viper21 · · Score: 2, Interesting · on 17 Web Based Competitors to MS Office

    We've used Basecamp for the last year successfully for our business, which is great for working with our remote clients. We have had the opportunity to heavily use Writeboards within our Basecamp account for the last few months with our clients.

    The great thing about being web based is that we all see the same thing, and the document history of Writeboards is great to flip back through time to see the changes we have made.

    Now I don't see this as a replacement to Word for daily business use, but for document collaboration it is truly a great tool.

    Good job guys.

    I'm sorry--didn't Penny Arcade farm out their store to ThinkGeek? So your example of RoR's superiority depends on a site that associates a comic with a blog post?

    Well, there is 37signals, who made a nice guestbook. That's certainly new.

    Just for your edification, I'm not particularly biased towards PHP. It's just that OSCommerce and phpBB2 are widely used and well-supported. My vast indifference to which programming language to use is only exceeded by my impatience with people who demonstrate irrational prejudice towards programming languages. Then I noticed your username, and promptly got over it.

  5. Good for Web Apps by moria · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Google Slips Talk of Online Storage Service

    With more and more functional Web APIs available, there is this surge in Web-based consumer applications. However, there is no central storage APIs, and Web Apps tend to use their own storage scheme. It's bad for users, who now have his information scattered around the web, and who tend to forget where he has stored certain information. It's much more serious than the password problems in the sense that users can use the same password for all the websites he visits. With Google and probably Yahoo to provide general storage APIs, we may soon able to store documents and notes to G drive or Y drive when C drive is not an option for Web Apps. And we may soon be able to export my web calendar to these web drives and switch to another web calendar service provider. Bookmark synchronization extension can then be so easy and universal. Much much more importantly, there could be better integration of web applications with this central storage as the glue. With a file system-alike, probably the Web OS reality is emerging finally.
