For the last few months, I have been checking out the Traffic Travis SEO tool. Researching and investigating tools like this is part of our work at GoAugust because we want to make sure we're on top of the state-of-the-art when it comes to web design, development and internet marketing.
Google provides some free tools to help with SEO (search engine optimization). All that's required is that you spend a few hours each week researching and analyzing the rich data that Google provides.

At GoAugust we are using a variety of tools to organize ourselves. Among them are FengOffice, Google Docs, Google Talk, and Catch. For real time collaboration on documents and spreadsheets, we use Google Docs. We find it very easy to use and it feels like we instantly have a first draft written up.
FengOffice is used to store images and any documents that do not require real time collaboration such as invoices and client feedback. We use its time tracking and calendar features to make sure we're on task and not running late.
We discovered Catch in the last week and so far it's been working well. We create tasks as new notes and then edit the note to update the task's information or progress. I'm also experimenting with using it to write/research blog posts (this blog post was actually written as a first draft in Catch!) I'll write a bit more about this setup later.
Congrats on that! It's awesome to see developers make money doing what they love to do. At the same time however, I find I am conflicted. On the one hand, making money is great, on the other hand I really like free/open source software. Making money isn't the issue here, it's more specific than that. The issue is that they seem to be making money by using proprietary licenses.
