Hot! Top 10 Online Small Business Tools

Just found an article over on ReadWrite web featuring Basecamp. The article titled, “Top 10 Online Small Business Tools” features 10 great tools for managing your small business.

The article is pretty tiny, without an in-depth, or even kind of in-depth review of the 10 pieces of software mentioned, but it does give you a sneak peak into what ReadWrite finds important. The summarized list is as follows:

Honestly, I’ve only worked with two of the programs on the list, Basecamp & Zoho, but it does seem promising. However in briefly looking at OfficeMedium for example, it’s clear that it is a valuable tool for any business, but doesn’t fulfill the same needs/roles as a project management app like Basecamp.

    If you would like a tool to manage your small business activities and Projects, you can use this web aplication:

    http://www.Gtdagenda.com

    You can use it to manage and prioritize your Goals (for business but also in other areas of your life), Projects and Tasks. It has a Checklists section, for the routines and repetitive activities that any business has to do. Also, it features a Schedules section and a Calendar, for scheduling you time and activities.

    Some features from GTD are also present, like Contexts and Next Actions.

    And it’s available on the mobile phone too, so you can access it from anywhere.

    Thanks for stopping by Dan. I’ll take a look at Gtdagenda and let you know what I think.

    There are so many great web-based apps out there for small business that it is hard to pick a list of top 10. But this is certainly a good list. One other app worth checking out is Intervals, an online project management app we built and use at our web design and development shop.

    It’s funny how the same people track these blog posts so they can plug their own webapps like they were just suggesting something..

    Anyway – the RWW post is tiny because it linked to the real review from Business Pundit.

    Frankly I really impressed with Dooster which isn’t mentioned on the list but is, granted, less well known than those mentioned. It’s the easiest most user friendly online small business tool I have found. I would recommend it. http://www.dooster.net

      Thanks Jason, I had never heard of Dooster – but we’ll definitely take a look.

    I know Zoho and Central Desktop because they were considered when we chose Dooster recently. I know Basecamp because the owners wanted it as they understood it was the best and were very keen. We are a small company and with the usual financial constraints they settled on Dooster. It’s been really good. Good customer service.
