A peek at In/Out from 37signals
Often times I ask my co-workers “What are you doing right now?,” not to hound them or assume they’re doing nothing, but to ensure that everyone is being utilized and doing something.
At 37signals, they’ve built an internal app called In/Out to manage these macro-status updates, which is a great idea especially when you have full-time employees working remotely.
I’d certainly throw a few bucks a month their way if this was released as an actual product.
