• One week until #WAW in Washington, DC at the Mayflower Hotel. Hope to see all the Dodge City #measure folks there! #
• @erictpeterson I did assume that our Web Analytics Washington was an offical #WAW – It is, after all, a WA event that occurs on a W, in a W. in reply to erictpeterson #
• Point of clarification – Wednesday's Web Analytics Washington (DC) is not a #WAW event – I incorrectly assumed that it was. #

Export from Tom's Planner

Tom’s Planner is a web-based collaborative project management tool. Despite the name, I have nothing to do with Tom’s Planner. It must be run by “that other Tom”.

Perhaps due to its moniker, but more likely due to its power, flexibility, and ease-of-use, Tom’s Planner has earned a spot in my toolkit.  With a simple drag-and-drop functionality, you can create Gantt charts and easily export them to an image, MS Project file, or even its own (public or private) web space.  That is pretty much all the application does, but it does it well, making it ideal for Project Managers that don’t want to deal with hassle of learning the intricacies of modern Project Management software.

Check it out!  They offer a fully-functional, registration-fee (!) demo at:
