Taskbin.com - Group Task Management made easy!

Taskbin.com is a great site that offers an organizational boost to teamwork. On Taskbin.com all group members have their own to-do list, priorities, completed tasks, timetables, and access to the task bins of others in the group. The idea is that everyone in the group begins and stays on the same page. The site is easy to use and as simple as typing in the test box, clicking on a time and priority and pressing enter. By understanding the progress and priorities of team members, others can work smarter and collaborate in a more meaningful way. Information such as, time, date, who created the task, when it should be finished, and the progress helps everyone stay abreast of what is going on within the group and with specific projects. Members can be a part of more than one group and can personalize their task bin. Every group member’s TaskBin is shared with everyone else in the group and is organized by timeframe: ‘today,’ ‘tomorrow,’ ‘this week,’ ’sometime soon,’ etc.

“TaskBin was born out of a very strong need at MangoSpring. MangoSpring believes in what we call "Naked organizations". Everyone needs to be on the same page. Everyone should have access to everyone else's task list. We do not believe in status reports and weekly status meetings. Everything should be transparent and flat. TaskBin is our "company" management tool.”

This awesome idea can be used by everyone from middle school students to CPAs. The format is unbelievably easy and fun to work with. Taskbin.com provides a great way to keep track of group progress and have members prove that they are contributing equally and working with other group members in mind.

This site will only work if people are honest in their posted information...this still requires other management techniques. How will this site effect the important face to face interactions? Will it become a substitute or a passive-aggressive way of working in a group?
