Depending on the size, some of them are free and some of them cost money. There are many videos available showing the product so you can check them out before signing up. Here’s a few for clearspace for example.

Then I found this excellent comparison by Derek Punsalan. It gives you and overview of BaseCamp, ActiveCollab and Goplan.

His conclusion? For individuals looking to manage projects without spending a small amount on monthly subscription costs, the less polished activeCollab application does provides the basics for managing and interacting with clients.

On the flip-side, anyone who is willing to part with a small amount through a monthly subscription recouped in an hour or less of work, definitely give Basecamp or Goplan a try. With Goplan’s recent public launch with features sure to give Basecamp a solid run, users now have more options. Which service will work for you? Give each of them a solid run-through and decide for yourself. Will you side with the proverbial favorite from 37signals – Basecamp? Or, will your business be better served by Webreakstuff’s Goplan?

Oh and I also found a more detailed comparison between Basecamp and activeCollab.

Do you have any other suggested online collaboration services?

Best way is to watch the 7 minute introduction and if you want to see it in more action, check this screencast out which is regarding charts and maps.

It does timezones very well and also synchronizes with your personal calendar (Outlook, iCal, Google etc) – but then you have to go Pro for about $1/month.

I used to use a simple spreadsheet e-mailing it around. Then I moved to EditGrid, but it’s still very manual work… maybe this is a better alternative?

Simply invite some friends and let the planning begin!

Creating a poll is as easy as:

The result? Could look like this – either you choose a poll to vote or a poll to rate!

And the results after voting:

But since I want to uninstall everything I started to look for some uninstalled alternatives where the forms are hosted somewhere else. Here are some alternatives. Anyone has any other tips? Please comment on this post.

• One alternative is Wufoo.
• Another alternative is Caspio Bridge, free for SOHO.
• Freedback offers a free alternative aswell. It seems like it’s the same solution as Response-o-matic.
• Yookie, but seems down at the moment.
• Bravenet got a whole list of online tools for the web, one of them the ability to create a form and the result is sent via e-mail.

You can also collaborate as a group – great for research or web design.

There’s a demo you can try without registering and also a Flash demo.

There’s a toolbar to install for Firefox. Just go to the page and choose Diigo in the toolbar:

You can add sticky notes to the whole page and when you visit the page, you will see it has some sticky notes attached to it and when you move the mouse over it, it will show the notes:

If you highlight any text in on the webpage, it will be marked within Diigo and you can choose to add some sticky notes and it will be shown when you visit the page:

You can also choose to blog about what you just highligted or forward your findings via e-mail:

I think this tool can be very useful within some projects. And it’s (almost) uninstalled and for free!

See below for a screencast where you can see how it works!
