Bannerflow

Web-based apps that we use

(By Tom on 18 January 2010 | Posted in Announcements)

Bannerflow is a web application that you can access with a web browser to manage and store your banner ad campaigns. But, clearly, we’re not alone in the web app marketplace.

We wanted to provide a quick run-down of some web apps that we use daily, some we even swear by.

• Harvest—is a great tool for managing time, invoicing and creating estimates. We’ve used a variety of resources in the past–from free-hand MS Word docs to enterprise-level billing solutions–and Harvest is a dead-simple, gorgeous application. Like many of the applications on this list, it makes a boring task not only tolerable, but actually kind of enjoyable. Extra points for integration with Basecamp, QuickBooks and other popular applications.
• Basecamp—tons is already said about 37signals’ wildly-popular application. We totally agree–it helps us stay on track.
• Notable—we use this app for managing site revisions and platform upgrades. This QA tool is fantastic. It beats the pants off trading PDFs back and forth or–even worse–trading email commentary. Check it out if you’re doing any site review work.
• iContact—not exactly a web app in the sense that there would be any other way to manage this, but we wanted to give iContact a shout-out as our email service provider of choice. Yes, of course, there more-featured, enterprise-level ESPs out there, but that’s not what we want or need. iContact follows much of the theme of this list–it’s very easy and intuitive.
