Axosoft is conducting an
experiment in social marketing, so here's to it: they are
giving away their OnTime 2006 app for a mere $5
donation to the American Red Cross. Even if you're no fan of the ARC (I know some people aren't, they have their
reasons), this is a pretty sweet deal. We're talking software that sells for $500 discounted 99%. So what? OnTime is a
respectable bug tracking and project management tool, with all the requisite reports and tracking tools, some cool
email alerts, and a web UI version. Those portal pages are gold when dealing with outside contractors or clients, I
tell ya. Give the
demo video a look and
see if the $5 is sweet enough for your taste. Get busy though, because the offer only lasts until February 24, and is
only available via blog links. Thanks to Kevin who sent this in.

Wow a great deal. To bad I have no use for such software.

Think of all the free press this will generate. I will admit they are being generous. But most companies have something more than alturism in mind when the pull stunts like this.
Thus, I wouldn't call it social marketing as much as marketing via the press (or in this case blogs).

I wonder if there is a catch. It would be interesting to read the terms and agreement. And I bet upon submission, they sell your information to a dozen 3rd party companies to make their money back.
It would be a miracle if a company these days would do something like this legit.

DJ, a miracle has happened. I'm the founder of Axosoft and I can guarantee you that this offer is real and as we indicate on the site, we will be donating 100% of each $5 sale to the American Red Cross. There is no catch and we WILL NOT sell your information.
Hope that helps. :-) Feel free to contact me directly if you need. I can be emailed at hamids at axosoft.

I'm game, $5 for PM software, gotta try it.

Jnetty - You may not need it now, but if you even remotely think you _might_ need it in the future, this seems like a pretty good deal. I don't have any particular use for it right now, but I might later.
And I've spent $5 on far stupider stuff.

I have used OnTime since the first beta when it was free. I even talked with Hamid a few times on the phone. After spending lots of time using it during the beta my company purchased OnTime when it became a commercial appliaction. Axosoft is an excellent company with a great product and great support.

I purchased ontime 2006 with 5 user licenses a few months ago and paid full price. I am not amused~
