The video above got me pretty excited about Team Apart’s new free web-based workspace application and service, partly because I’ve been looking for a good one to help me manage projects and collaborate with others.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a BETA invite (yet) so I’ll just have to be patient.
All the essentials appear to be there with filesharing, video/audio webcam action, chat, and real-time collaborative features, packaged nicely in a clean looking interface.
As the web becomes more a part of what we’re doing daily and certainly how we’re working, I can imagine that ministries will begin to see the value of hiring people that may not necessarily have to sit in their organization’s physical building; remote employees will become a serious and vital part of the growth of a ministry.
Thus, tools like these will become even more important.
