Isn’t it intriguing how every tool that tries to replace email ends up looking like email?

Its wrong to argue the case for tools like Asana vs. email by drawing parallels with the shift from snail-mail to email. The shift in the former is nowhere close to that in the latter. Collaboration tools really are going ahead of themselves by claiming to slay email. Something that slays email will have to bring in a paradigm shift in how we communicate, in terms of the medium or the style of communication. We don’t see collaboration tools doing that.

Blogged about this here at length – Dear Asana Inbox, why do you want to slay email:http://blog.grexit.com/dear-asana-inbox-why-do-you-want-to-slay-email/.

Asana was a little too complicated (more functions than I need) for the group I work with (and a little pricey). I’ve been using it for a little over a year, and cheaper, one-time fee alternatives like Appfluence’s Priority Matrix and CulturedCode’s Things have been getting the job done with a lot less clutter, in my opinion.

Very cool stuff. We use Asana just having an online place to keep weekly checklists that are easy to work with has really helped keep us on track.
