8apps - tools for productive people

Today I took some time to play with 8apps:
8apps is a suite of online applications that helps you to work better. At the center there is Handshake, a fully-featured social network for you to make new contacts, strengthen existing relationships and find like-minded entrepreneurs.
For those who don't have skilled programmers in house you might want to take a look at this application for collaborating with your colleagues. It has to do lists (which you can share), a project brainstorming app, and plan meetings with people where ever you are. So far, there are only 4 apps, but 4 more are in the works. 8apps is invite only, so if you want to try it out just drop me a comment or an email (remember to provide me with your email address) and I'll send you an invite.

So far, this is a pretty nifty all-in-one package for working with people who aren't sitting right next to you at work.

Want to see it in action? Check out the screencast: part 1 and part 2.
