We're looking for good project management tools, which allow setting milestones and tasks, assigning responsibilities and tracking progress. Did anyone come across such at NTC?

I've posted my notes from the NTEN Conference in my blog at

Most of the sessions I attended were on Google, and I included a lot of links to descriptive information about their services.

Hi everyone,
My name is Michaela Hackner and I work in online strategy at World Learning, an international education non-profit. I recently attended both NTC '08 and presented at SXSW on how non-profits can use technology in their work. My favorite takeaways from NTC can be found here and my presentation at SXSW can be found here. I look forward to chatting with everyone later today!

G'day y'all. My name's Rose Vines. I'm one of the presenters today, so I'm spending my morning distilling my thoughts and trying to put in order all I absorbed at 08NTC and the Women Who Tech telesummit.

I'm an Aussie living in New Orleans. I wear a few work caps: freelance technology journalist, Director of Online Discourse for the Death Penalty Discourse Network and volunteer for Hike for KaTREEna (planting trees in NOLA) and micro-lender Kiva. My web site's Geekgirl's Plain English Computing and my blog is Before Hours. You can also find me on Twitter.

I'm looking forward to joining you in the teleconference.
