Being a Project Manager and running a Project Management website for 4 years now, I find it odd that I have not heard of a single tool on the list before.

I have to state 2 things:

- Companies prefer paid over non-paid PM tools, as the former provide support.
- They all function the same (it seems that they all use the same engine), but then again, so are the paid tools.

I’ve published an article on the ideal PM tool ( http://www.pmhut.com/what-would-an-ideal-project-management-tool-look-like ) , although written by the CEO of a PM tool, I think it offers an objective view of what a PM (collaboration) tool should really look like.

Thanks for sharing.

For implementing GTD on a team you can use this web-based application:

http://www.Gtdagenda.com

You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.

Nice list! Some of them I have to say I use personally.
There is also a new service http://TicTacDo.com – the social way for personal productivity, with a database of almost 20,000 ready-to-use checklists.

I am amazed this page still gets good comments after 1 1/2 year! Obviously there is great need for collaboration tools. The latest version of http://www.binfire.com has improved collaboration tools and the service is free!

If you want a structured colaboration , you should check out http://www.semmels.com
It allows you to define the structure, so it can be used for a variety of projects.
It also allows you to change the structure as the project evolves.
This structured approach becomes especially handy if you want to colaborate with a larger group of people.

Nice to see mikogo getting some love...though I still don't know what that name is supposed to mean. You should give Proxy Networks a look the next time you do one of these. They have great remote desktop software that I feel rivals mikogo point for point.

You might want to look at our HyperOffice Collaboration Suite. It's amongst the oldest companies in SaaS and collaboration since 1998, and brings the most comprehesive toolkit (email, project management, workspaces, document management, calendars, contacts, online meetings, web forms, workflows, forums etc).
