New in Basecamp: The "My Stuff" Menu

A great thing about the Home screen in Basecamp 3 is that your drafts, bookmarks, and assignments are all easily accessible. Load up Home, click a link, and see all of your assignments or your drafts in one place. There’s just one problem with this approach: You have to leave whatever you’re doing to get to these links. We wanted to make it easier to find and access these “My…” links, and now you can!

How businesses can benefit from proactive messaging

Businesses are more likely to build a real connection with their customers when their outreach is personalized.

Where Does Proactive Support Fit into Your Customer Support Process?
