8apps: Social Networking For Productive People
Productivity February 20th, 2007
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.
I have 15 invites to give away to the exclusive Invite Only 8apps, if you want in, simply leave a comment below.

Wait you need an account for Orchestrate now?? I used to use it way back when (last july). No love for older users? oh well, Glenn hit me up with an invite.
February 20th, 2007 at 8:32 am
Hi, I’m a GTD amateur and I still try to find the right applications that fit well to me. I would love to try out 8apps also. Thanks.
February 20th, 2007 at 8:32 am
Looks sweet, I’d like an invite
Thanks dude,

Would love to try out the service, Thanks in advance…
February 20th, 2007 at 9:15 am
I’d like to give this service a try. I’m interested in what the next apps will be. A really sweet suite of integrated web apps would be very helpful. Many are trying!

Would like an invite please Glenn :)
February 20th, 2007 at 9:44 am
sounds nice, i would love to try it
February 20th, 2007 at 9:56 am
Looks interesting! I’d like an invite if there are any left :) Thanx!
February 20th, 2007 at 9:58 am
I doubt there are any invites left, but if there is, I’d love to have one :)
February 20th, 2007 at 10:22 am
Same as Edward would love an invite if you have any left.

I have been using 8apps for awhile now, and I have to say that it has helped me organize what I need to get done very well. I had been trying a moleskine, but found hard to keep it organized the way I wanted to. With orchestrate in 8apps, I can create as many lists as I want with as many tasks as I want, all with an intuitive easy to use system.
Handshake is nice because it is a social network of like-minded people who are interested in productivity, technology, design, the web, etc.
I have 15 or so invites left, if you are having trouble getting one, just throw an email over to maiku00 [at] gmail [.com]
February 20th, 2007 at 11:39 am
I’d love to have an invite as well. Much appreciated.
February 20th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
I’m assuming I’ve missed my chance at an invite.. however if anyone has any going I’d love an invite. Send one my way at dragonhell [at] gmail [dot] com.
Much appreciated!
February 20th, 2007 at 4:38 pm
Looks like I missed out too…but if there are any left i would like one too.
info@socialsquad.us
Any idea when they are going live?
February 20th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
I want an invite.
February 20th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Well, I mssed the invite. But I’m sure patient enough to wait when they’re all working properly and out of testing. After all, I don’t want to base my productivity on something half-baked. BTW, the linkback for the donate page is http://www.cupofchai.net .
February 20th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
My last 6 invites have been sent out.

I would _love_ to have an invite, however I guess I will just have to play the odds by submitting my email to the 8apps website (they choose 5 emails a day randomly).
