Yesterday welcomed Asana, the 323rd entrant into the online task/project management arena. This one is notable in that the founders are early Facebook alumns. In the latest TechCrunch installment of Asana coverage, the founders talk about why they started the company and acknowledge that task management is a "nut folks have been trying to crack for a long time". This of course is similar rationale posited by the previous 322 companies.
So, TechCrunch asks them what their "big differentiators" are. I heard them as:
--Task-centric rather than people-centric
--Really fast and real time (a desktop app experience on the web)
--Versatile enough to enable users to not be forced into a specific format
--Works for individuals and groups.
I'm particularly fond of -- and familiar with -- these priorities since these are some of the same challenges we set out to solve with Smartsheet.

@JonathanRDrake i agree. i tried smartsheet and liked it alot, but ended up using asana. smartsheet's pricing policy is simply outdated.

Would like to see you mention cost. Asana is free and smartsheet starts at $16 per month ($190) per yr.
