Is anyone able to outline the main differences between Basecamp and Teambox?
I have just started using Basecamp - I like it, but I feel that is not exactly what I want for running my projects...a bit too "stiff".
I would say Teambox is a twitter-like approach to project management. You can either refer your message to a specific conversation/task or just make a status update like "Working on xy". I have used Basecamp for years, and the main difference is, that Teambox is (in my opinion) better to stay on top of conversations. I've often found myself losing track of conversations in Basecamp because of new threads being opened and older threads moving to another page.
I have to agree with you. Although BC's new "most active discussions" at the top of Messages does help.
