Quick Note: Backpack Is Awesome

37signals, makers of the so-simple project management tool Basecamp, are about to launch their new Backpack service on Tuesday, and I got one of the coveted Golden Tickets that allows you to play around in the sandbox. Though sworn to secrecy, I want to convey my impressions from my first fifteen minutes with Backpack:

  1. Okay.
  2. Good, there's no manual. I hate reading manuals.
  3. All right, I guess that's hip.
  4. Oh, wait.
  5. Ohhhhhh...
  6. and...
  7. OHHHH!

As a hint about what Backpack can do, and just how ridiculously simple and awesome it is, let me say this: I am about to leave the house, but I really want to continue playing with this all day, so I will.

You wouldn't think that a little web service would be able to steal my attention away from a fresh installation of Tiger ("The Widgets! They're everywhere!"), but I'm really sold on this tool, and I think that, by Tuesday, a lot of people will be saying the same thing.
