We’ve not had a need to use something like Webex internally, we aren’t *that* distributed a team – we have a couple of people work a couple of days a week from home. And are happy for ad hoc homeworking.

We’re actually looking for timesheets services at the moment, so TrackingTime looks interesting. It doesn’t feel in the spirit of a startup though!

When I last used Yammer it struck me as being corporate facebook, uptake in the large traditional company I worked in was low (i.e. about 1% workforce, and those concentrated in IT).

I have started a business myself and our developers are located around the world. I think it is a key strength if your lead developer or CTO (I am the CMO), can manage and work in remote teams. I have seen startups which could reduce their burn rate by factor 5, just by making use of outsourcing and working remotely. I understand that this does not always work in every scenario, but I think it is something that more teams should pursue.

I have written myself a list with tools that are useful for distributed teams. I would be very interested in your feedback! https://myhelpster.com/tools-for-distributed-teams/

Thanks again!
