These pop up quite often and personally I find them quite boring.

A lot of it is personal choice, e.g. IRC & campfire being 'laggy', for me Google apps is meh apart from mail/calendar, you better pony up for MS office if you're dealing with a lot of other businesses, themeforest I find extremely hard to find a decent looking, well written html template, most of them are div crazy, extremely heavy CSS/js payloads or use cufon, kerrschpitt.

And assistly looks like a total rip off at $69 p/m per user (to me anyway).

I mean swipe might make an interesting submission in itself, but the homepage is light on details, looks like it's in a closed beta, which probably means US only, no good for me.

Anyway tl;dr is that the tools your business uses are very personal choices of services many of us already know about, I find them dull.

What's more interesting is what's missing, no accounting system, no bug tracking, no server uptime monitor, no analytics, no A/B testing.




You're right; Swipe is in closed beta at the moment. An email never hurts though
