There is a race going on at the moment for the collaboration space. The likes of Asana.com & Do.com are attempting to solve similar problems. The rules look like this:

- make your product web based & free - get users, worry about revenue later - keep it horizontal as much as possible

Maybe this is all part of the new long term bottom up strategy for getting into Enterprises?

Get Enterprise users using your product, get them to bring it in the Enterprise door and further down the line find a way to monetize.

It will be interesting to see who comes out on top. I see a lot more innovation to come in this space.



There is also &!, which was featured on HN a while back:

https://andbang.com/


They are similar but their pricing will prevent the kind of adoption rates Trello are looking for - 100 million+


There's also http://teambox.com with freemium approach. The new beta has a kanban-style view, too.


Review19 -- http://review19.com -- is in this space, but focuses entirely on co-location / distributed web, creative and software teams.
