Created a little online community around Localise Live! last week, using Basecamp. It isn’t very glamorous or exciting, but I’ve not found anything better for communities of practice-esque online spaces.

I worry sometimes about the ownership of the company and some of their problematic views – but at the moment it doesn’t feel like they infect the platform in the way it does at, say, Substack.

Clinked – interesting collaboration platform

I’ve just come across Clinked – a new online collaboration platform that might be a useful competitor to the likes of Huddle, Basecamp and Yammer.

One of the things I like about it is that as well as the different project groups that can be set up, it also features a central area where everyone can share stuff, ask questions and so on. So it combines the project management of tools like Huddle with some of the more social features of Yammer.

Here’s a video that explains it a little more:

If you’re in the market for one of these tools – and who isn’t?!? – then it could well work for you. There’s a free option so you can trial it with a small group first.
