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:
- Okay.
- Good, there's no manual. I hate reading manuals.
- All right, I guess that's hip.
- Oh, wait.
- Ohhhhhh...
- and...
- 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.
