Asana - Team and Time Management Tool!

This week I struggled to find tools that would work for my Prod 2 and that I liked enough to sign up or explore further. Then I received a very detailed email from my friend that is coming to visit filled with potential ideas and a schedule of events. I instantaneously teased her about the level of detail, which she defended as completely normal and turned me on to Asana, a tool she uses to plan and coordinate with her long distance boyfriend (who is also a "mega planner").

What is Asana? Asana is a tool used to manage team projects, organize and detail tasks. It has similar features to TeamBox but is designed as a Mobile App.

As a learning tool, this application could be used to increase collaboration by enabling the group to stay up to date with the project, comment and edit tasks as the project progresses.

Another feature I liked about this tool is that I did not need to create a new account completely, as you can sign in under your google account.

Has anyone used Asana and TeamBox? If so, what were the pros and cons of each? I'm intrigued my the user friendly feel and plan to utilize this app on my phone in the future (since my coursework is almost over maybe I can used it to coordinate my next trip, possibly an FSU football game, with friends).
