"A simple, incredibly elegant and powerful, beautifully-designed answer"

“So many applications build on one feature — web-based email, or a calendar — and specialize in that technology only. The calendar may be great, but it’s just a calendar.

In Backpack, you instead get a solution to a need — how do I keep track of my life online? Rather than scattering information over several web sites or tools, you can come to one place to find a simple, incredibly elegant and powerful, beautifully-designed answer. Backpack makes it easy to get organized and move ahead.” -Marc Hedlund, O’Reilly
