drag2share: Trello Makes Project Collaboration Simple and Kind of Enjoyable [Collaboration]

Just-launched webapp Trello is a simple yet powerful project management tool. We know, "project management" sounds kind of boring, but if you've ever tried using project management apps, Trello stands out as a tool that augments your collaboration without overwhelming you.

As the developers behind Trello put it, it's simply "a web page where you make a bunch of lists." Making those lists is incredibly easy; you create a project (Trello calls them boards), add lists to it, and add list items (called cards) to those lists. If that's all you want from the site (and that aspect is solid enough that you might be satisfied with it for simple list making), you'll be happy. But Trello starts to shine when you dip your toe into collaboration.

To collaborate, you invite people to join your board. Once they join, members can add and edit items and lists, and you can drag people to items within your project to keep track of who's working on what (that's one of the main problems with collaboration Trello aims to solve). Click on any individual card and you can add comments, add a checklist for tracking progress on that task, attach files, and more.

The whole site's very user friendly, and that combined with the depth of functionality make it a strong solution for people looking for anything ranging from simple list-making to full-on team management and project collaboration.
