Topspin Media is all about being Agile...get that software out there, baby!!
So...I am trying to find the right software to help manage multiple projects with resources in San Francisco, Santa Monica and random locations like coffee shops and beds.
Here is all the software that I am testing out to determine the one that I like the best:
