That’s as in juggling.

Basecamp has just announced that some people are experiencing slow downs due to “some people on the Premium plan are amassing hundreds and hundreds of projects”.

Blimey. I’m truly staggered that some people have hundreds of projects. I would expect that the number of projects is some function of the number of people you have in a company, its business type and its turnover. Maybe Basecamp is being used by multinational window cleaners? Or perhaps some people are using it as their main contact repository – which would require one project per contact.

In any eventuality, I’d bet that these people just don’t know how or why they are using Basecamp. For example, we don’t plug every enquiry into Basecamp, and any prospect or job that goes cold we archive. Perhaps Basecamp should automatically archive projects that are abandoned: unvisited in say 30 days, without upcoming milestones?
