- While I strongly prefer working with paid software…like Basecamp, I'd like to give you a free alternative…and that's Facebook.…Now, you might be surprised that the popular…social media site can be a platform for organization,…but it actually works quite well.…In fact, I use it to manage my website, Photofocus,…and collaborate with authors.…If you're under the age of 30,…you're probably happy here because now you have an excuse…to tell your boss that you need to use Facebook at work.…But in all seriousness, Facebook can be quite useful…to get the job done.…
