I've been searching for a way to coordinate project elements with the various members of the project team. For example, our creative director needs to keep track of the photography, writing, graphic design, and printing as well as who's responsible for each task, the deadlines, etc. I need to keep track of what videos have been shot, if they have been edited & approved, the website installation, keyword research, domains, optimization, video syndication, bookmarks and who's doing each part. That's a lot to keep track of. I have looked at various web-based services to help me collaborate and manage projects but most services get ...

Congratulations to Linda Balentine of Crowning Touch Senior Moving Services for getting featured on the local t.v. show called "Our Blue Ridge" which airs at noon each week day.
