It’s been a while since I wrote about self-managed teams, but it remains a topic dear to my heart. Teams that choose how to divide work and responsibility often get more done than when a manager dictates work, and for good reason. It creates buy-in, and you gain a sense of how you personally impact your […]
We’re already getting some great feedback from those of you trying out the new version of Fellowstream that went out this month, but one criticism we still receive is not getting enough reminders to check back in. We changed all that with the brand new weekly digest. You should have received an e-mail that looks […]
I don’t usually get the chance to meet people I admire in the blogging sphere, but today gave me just that opportunity. Ali Hale, my favorite blogger, mentioned she was going to BlogWorld, a convention for Internet writers and social media experts here in Las Vegas. Ali Hale has been my role model for several months now, […]
Fellowstream is headquartered in Las Vegas due to circumstance. My video game job brought me here, and it turns out starting a business in Nevada is fairly easy. Besides the obvious entertainment value, though, Las Vegas has the perk of hosting a veritable ton of conferences every year. BlogWorld, here we come! Sean Connery will […]
As you can tell by the update we put out this week, we have been quite busy at Avalon Labs. Not only do we constantly monitor our own help forums for suggestions to improve the site, we’re constantly trying out new ideas in house and/or bouncing ideas off Fellowstream customers we know “in real life.” […]
We’ve been talking about it in the blogs for quite some time, but the day has finally arrived. We just launched a new version of Fellowstream that incorporates changes based on feedback given by our own customers. Now more than ever, you’ll be able to manage your small business, your school project, or your own to-do […]
We receive a lot of feature requests for Fellowstream, especially from new customers looking for a team management tool. (If you want to get involved with the conversation, you can chat with me on our Fellowstream Twitter sometime.) One of the most requested features is the ability to sort tickets. It’s in for the next […]
Recently, I had one of those humbling insights that forced me to realize how much bias I carry around with me. I met up with the younger brother of a friend at lunch, Jared. The first time I met Jared, he was 17-years-old and understandably cocky. We used to play board games together, and he […]
If you’ve visited the sales site in the last few months, you might have noticed our new artwork on the front page. This artwork isn’t only to spruce up the front page, but we’re also using it to create a brand new avatar selector for Fellowstream.
We live in an age where it’s cool to be doing a bajillion things, preferably at once. If you have the TV going while you’re typing an e-mail, managing your virtual farm, and talking to your mom about the ham you got baking in the oven, you are deemed to be a demi-god of sorts. […]
