Watts, Brandon. "Planzone." Windows Fanatics. 30 Sept. 2008. <http://www.lockergnome.com/windows/2008/09/30/planzone/>

This article gives a slight positive review on Planzone.  It just describes how there are so many project management tools out there available for people to use on the internet.  He gives a nice little story about the difficulties that can arise when people are not in the workplace and are all working in different places.  He states that the challenge of that has been remedied with all of the web 2.0 applications that have come about.  He states that Planzone is one of those sites that are useful in the help of running a project with people in remote places.  By using Planzone, you will not be confused on what should be done on a certain project or when a deadline is approaching.  Plazone allows you to manage your tasks, file share with others, and keep a good line of communication so that these projects get done.
