Behind the scenes at 37signals: Miscellaneous
Written by on February 21st, 2008 in Ajax News.
This is the sixth in a series of posts showing how we use Campfire as our virtual office. All screenshots from the series are from real usage and were taken during a single week.
This time we’ll take a look at some of the miscellaneous ways we use Campfire to share information, communicate, and get things done.
Give a product review for a new piece of hardware
Mark links up his new printer/scanner and talks about its pros and cons.
Work the late shift
Jeremy, a night owl, commits a change at 2:30 am. Everyone else will see it when they login in the morning.
Show progress on a to-do list
Jamis shows his progress by uploading a screenshot of his “Things on my plate” list.
Make a point with photos
Sam uploads a comparison shot of different Apple products.
Solicit ideas from others
Ryan offers Jason some suggestions for products that offer thoughtful integration.
Celebrate good news
It’s a boy! Huzzahs all around for Jamis’ new son.
Share a funny cartoon
Mark posts a funny Dilbert strip. This sort of thing gives our CF room a nice “chatting ‘round the water cooler” vibe.
