Taskbarn: free web project management and colaboration tool

Taskbarn is a free tool where you can track your projects through a clean and easy to use interface. It allows you to colaborate with co-workers and easily share progress with clients through RSS feeds. You can upload up to 100MB of files per project, and an API is avalilable for those who want to build applications on top of Taskbarn.

According to the website:

  • Update your status in "the feed" to keep stakeholders happy
  • Tired of sorting through emails? Use Taskbarn's threaded messaging system
  • Add, track, and assign tasks to project members
  • Organize all project tasks in a TODO list.
  • Communicate with project members through private messages and the project feed.
  • Share files, web links, and other assets.
  • Invite clients, colleagues, and friends to collaborate with you on your project.
  • Access your projects from anywhere with an internet connection.
  • Each project has its own unique ".taskbarn.com" address and private website.

I created an account and the setup and initial usage were really a snap. Two things I am curious about taskbarn: 1) Since it is 100% free, what is their business model? I haven't seen advertisement on the tool. Yet. 2) Apparently the service just changed its name. Look on the image above and you'll see that itwas apparently called taskfeed, which is indeed a nicer name. What might have happened?
