I am thinking (dreaming) about a tool for managing IM projects and would like some feedback, bit of a brainstorming session!
Features I have thought of so far are:
That is as far as I have got. I am trying to work out if this would be a desktop or web application, there are positive and negatives for both...
Web: Accessible from any computer, possibility of expanding to an iPhone and Android application later for even easier access, but this is a bit of security risk, I suspect most people would not like the idea of a website having the crown jewels as it were.
Desktop: Far more secure but only accessible from one location and design and visual layout is limited.
You could of course offer a hybrid version; integrate with something like dropbox so people can sync databases across computers securely. Anyway! This is all pie in the sky and is nothing more than a good idea right now, would be interested in any opinions and any expansion on the features or thoughts around web or desktop.
Features I have thought of so far are:
- Comprehensive list of all sites owned: Ability to record URL details, logins, host details, domain details etc
- Web 2.0 property management: Record URL, login etc with the ability to auto login to any property
- Back link management: Associated to money sites and other layers allowing you to track links, PR and index status and the link relationships, maybe a visual tool here to allow you to visualise money site and created links under it
- Content management: Ability to log and record all content wth API integration into the best spinner and copyscape integration, ability to track where content has been used.
- User account management: Ability to track accounts, email, Web 2.0 etc
- Integrated analytics dashboard: simple dashboard showing high level Google Analytics stats for all money sites, Unique visitors, Pageviews etc
- Contact management: Lists of industry contacts, service providers and ability to track and store notes on them, transaction details etc
- Financial management: Record spend on advertising, services and track by month, year etc
- Task tracker: Schedule and record your time spent on projects
