Backpack Upgrade - Maybe Not So Out of Focus
Last week we wrote a piece questioning whether perhaps 37Signals had lost focus with the upgrades to their popular Backpack organizational tool. We argued that the changes were morphing Backpack from a simple organizational tool into a robust intranet system that put it on a collision course with Basecamp, the company's groupware application. Many commenters on the 37Signals blog felt the same way, though most on this blog seemed to disagree. Ultimately, we decided that "whether [37Signals has] fallen prey to feature creep will really be measured by the response of their users."
37Signals' Backpack Getting Major Upgrade - Losing Focus?
This week, 37Signals started to preview the upcoming update to their Backpack service, which received its last major update in July. Though most of the new features seem very useful, they also seem to transform the app from a simple organizational tool into something else entirely. We can't help but wonder, considering the company wrote the book on keeping things simple in software development, has 37Signals lost focus with Backpack?
