Easy project collaboration solutions

OK, you have lots of 'stuff' that you need to work on, some on your own, some with others. You need somewhere for you and your team to work on things together while you are in project mode.

For small projects you can choose from some of the fantastic project collaboration web sites available. Being web based solutions means that you can access your files/notes/chats/calendar from any computer with internet access. How neat is that?

I have used several online project collaboration web sites, and I have my favorites, but let me give you some links so you can go and check them out and decide for yourself which best fits your needs.

The following sites all offer a healthy dose of options for FREE, and you will be able to see from the pricing breakdowns they publish that the next level up is still not an expensive option. But if you need to project manage a couple of other people you can do a great job for $0 and save your company money.

Here's the list. There are more options available than noted - some are the same thing, just called another name. But here is the boiled down essence of each one:
