I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

Looks interesting but I have a few problems with this;
I swear by Gmail and Google Calendar
I use a free Basecamp account for collaboration and tracking work
I like Foldershare for sharing files (encrypted and stays on MY computers).
I guess that's the problem with integrated solutions like this - some bits you will like and others won't work so well.
And the other thing is that Blue Tie are only accepting sign-ups within the U.S so I can't try it anyway.

Yes - nice but U.S. only and therefore useless for the rest of us. I tried so very often to subscribe but only get an errorcode 1036.
So - sorry Bluetie, but I think that boundaries are not relevant anymore in the cyberworld.

Thanks for the great review! We have been working really hard to further improve the app, and have a ton of wild new features coming out in the next few months. It should get really interesting!
Deano, re: international, we just opened it up worldwide in response to the feedback we got, so try it out!

Seems nice.
Just played around with the free version for about an hour.
I'm kind of addicted to Backpack for corroboration and TRUMBA for calendering. We've been with them for long enough that our pricing is much lower than they currently charge new users. Our company uses TRUMBA regularly.
Off the top of my head, the biggest challenge I see with this product is that it is not very simple to share a calender event with multiple people. You have to create the event, and invite people to it before it shows on their personal calender.
The other thing that strikes me as odd is that when someone does accept the invitation and the event shows on their calender, if you have all your employees shared (so you can see their schedules) then the event will show up multiple times on one calender. So if you have ten people you've scheduled the event on, it will show up TEN TIMES on the shared space.
THAT is very weird and confusing.
Though I will spend some more time with this because I really do WANT to like this. It seems like a perfect fit for 99% of what we do.
