Too Many Ideas? You Need Some Action Method. The Action Method is a task-management system provided by the company Behance that’s available to use through the web, an iPhone application, and print products. Since more and more people turn to such products to keep track of their tasks and projects, it’s time to take a look at this system as an alternative to other project management software like Basecamp and Active Collab. (disclaimer: As with all PM systems, the Action Method is robust and complex. This review touches on the surface, so check out the free demo to see all it has to offer.)
[This review was written by Dan Auer. The Action Method is based on three elements: actions, projects, and methods. Actions The system is, well, based on actions.

This is the future, and it’s already happening in many ways. Back to the GTD thing, what’s the deal of pushing everything to the cloud? Tasks can be assigned to a project. What’s next Shared Projects;
