Wiki wiki, should we have a wiki?

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

We are interested in what you think about Pelotonics online project management software!

The key for application designers is to strike a balance and include the most useful features to the most people, and leave out the rest.

Just this week Google took their new to-do list application, Gmail Tasks, out of its experimental Labs area and …

How to get Google Sitelinks for your Website

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

We’ve owned the domain pelotonics.com forever, yet Google’s sitelinks algorithm never seemed to give us any love! I personally think if you have sitelinks associated to your website, it makes your site look more professional when it comes up in Google.

According to the Sitelinks help page,

“At the moment, sitelinks are completely automated. We’re always working to improve our sitelinks algorithms, and we may incorporate webmaster input in …

Add Due Dates to all of your Tasks and unlock the true power of the Task Report

Many of our users tell us they love the Task Report!

The CTO’s DNA

To GUID or not to GUID, that is the question

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

I was recently having a discussion with one of our users Aaron West about the File Storage Configuation option in Pelotonics. If you’re on Plan 1 or higher in Pelotonics, you can configure your own FTP server to store your files rather than letting us store them. Many of our customers like this feature because they’re in control of their own files. In …
