One of the main reasons why I like the software is the fact that I could continue to work in Microsoft Project 2007 while sharing my Microsoft Project plans with my teams. Because it is a hosted service, I did not have to buy expensive software or deal with installation and maintenance headaches. The functionality that I have with valleyspeak to manage my geographically dispersed teams works well for me. We also evaluated Basecamp and some other solutions but were not impressed.

They picked one feature - email integration, and made it sound like they invented it, when it's a small feature that many other web-based PM apps used long ago and are using even more now. For example, Backpack (from 37 Signals) had it in 2005 (they recently also added it to HighRise), TasksPro had it from 2006. As for now - TeamWorkLive, ActionThis, Remember the Milk, Target Process, Lighthouse... just to mention a few. <b>Looks like Andrew managed to "invent" a feature that many others already have</b>, without making a big deal out of it. I guess it's marketing... Wrike looks like an ok product, but the funny part is how they try to differentiate themselves.

The December edition of TaskWorks has a similar facility to Wrike in that it too lets users setup To-Do items and reminders by emailing the TaskWorks mail agent. There's also a freeware addin to integrate the entire TaskWorks workspace with Outlook 2007 calendar and Task list.

Of course, there's also a great Web 2.0 website to use. Visit <a href="www.actionthis.com" title="ActionThis" rel="nofollow">www.actionthis.com</a>.

Wrike looks interesting. A lot of my friends here in Europe have mentioned a company called TimeLog (http://www.timelog.dk/) that offers web 2.0 project management and time tracking tools OnDemand.
