8apps is a new startup company which is aimed at productive people, or people trying to become productive via their suite of online applications, which will help you to work better.

Currently three applications out of the planned eight are live. Handshake, Orchestrate, and Blueprint.

Handshake allows you to connect with friends and buddies, to open up a world of collaborative functionality. You can join groups, and discuss topics with people with similar interests, and send private messages to your buddies.

Orchestrate is a full functional to-do list manager. The way Orchestrate is laid out with the use of Ajax is very innovative and clean looking. Create a new to-do list in one click, and add items to it in another. To display a certain to-do list, simply click on it in the sidebar, and it will appear in the main area of the page. You can open as many to-do lists as you want at once, and there’s a nice visual notification when you check off a completed task.

Blueprint is a way to collaborate and brainstorm together with friends, business partners, or clients. It makes it easy for both parties to get ideas of our your heads and onto a white board, where the information is all collected and can easily be browsed.

Overall I’ve found 8apps very useful so far, and I’m busy incorporating it into my daily workflow to further see if it works for me. I cant wait to see what the other apps do, but for now, I give it a strong rating, you should definitely check it out.
