    Basecamp Personal includes 3 projects, 20 users, and a gig of storage space. So kick off a couple projects, invite some friends, family, teammates, or volunteers.

    I could definitely see this being popular with smaller organizations, like the Boy/Girl Scouts example mentioned in the article or a smaller non-profit organization. It's a good way to easily collect information in one place without needing to be overly technology-savvy.

I worked at a TV station where they tried to organize a national advertising campaign through Basecamp and so many people couldn't figure out how to use it that they scrapped it and went back to using email and Excel spreadsheets to coordinate everything.

    I have been asking for this for years, a long time ago they used to have a similar program and they silently shuttered it.
