    I was going to read it, but $2000 is a bit more than I need to spend. I'm sure it's a great report though.

    Getting Work Done With Social Task Management looks like a very promising report. Do any of the applications you mention help manage outsourced workers who build brands via social networking? Most of the project management apps we've looked at are for big companies with large in-house teams. They don't appear offer the right tools for solo-entrepreneurs who outsource.
