“If you’re looking for a tool that can help your team collaborate and manage projects in a natural way that has a low learning curve and minimal barriers to entry, it’s worth checking FMYI out.”
– New York Times: “FMYI 6.0 — Faster, Sleeker Collaboration via a Facebook-like Site”

“FMYI’s attractive design is similar to those of social networking sites like Facebook, and it works kind of like them, too, which makes the task of filling in one’s colleagues on what you’ve been up to feel more fun, and should help drive adoption within your organization,while at the same time making it easy to track things like tasks and deadlines.”
– Web Worker Daily: “FMYI 6.0 — Faster, Sleeker Collaboration via a Facebook-like Site”

“One point of difference from other collaboration tools is that FMYI is committed to sustainability: It purchases renewable energy credits for clients’ FMYI power usage, while the app itself enables a team to track its sustainable commuting methods.”
– Salon: “FMYI 6.0 — Faster, Sleeker Collaboration via a Facebook-like Site”

“For all of the news features, one of the most obvious—and compelling—improvements with FMYI 6.0 has to be the vastly improved look and feel. Not only does the new design step it up a notch, the clean interface makes FMYI feel easier to use. And that’s always a good thing….But even more impressive than the beautiful new chrome job? The big names that are lauding the value of FMYI…While I’ve always been a fan of FMYI, I have to admit that the latest version has me championing it even more. If you’re looking for some tools to help get your whole team on the same page, I highly recommend giving FMYI a test drive.”
– Silicon Florist: “It’s not project management, it’s FMYI: HBO and other big names laud Portland-based collaboration platform”

“…It’s like Facebook for the office…that’s cool because it means FMYI encourages work teams to take action in a fun environment. Users can manage projects, track sales prospects, collaborate with clients, build a library and create databases…In addition to some good looking collaboration, FMYI is also on an environmental tip. The company focuses heavily on minimizing their footprint, and points out ways in which their helping save the trees has been a part of their process from the very beginning…The company certainly has some great goals and what is seemingly a ton of moral fiber. Big names like HBO, Sony, Nike and Hyatt Hotels have already jumped on FMYI’s wagon, and perhaps you too will find something worth paying for.”
– CMSWire: “Have Fun at Work with FMYI’s Facebook-like Application”

“The Wall Street Journal has made it official: email’s reign is over. What are people using instead?…(The) latest alternative looks pretty interesting. Imagine a site that offered SharePoint-like file sharing, scheduling, and online collaboration features. Now dress it up in a Facebook-like interface with user profiles and news feeds. You’d have FMYI, a site that combines collaboration and social networking features in a surprisingly compelling way…The interface is clean and simple, and it’s easy to learn your way around with the videos and flash tours on the site…Based on my experience, this is one of the better online collaboration sites and definitely worth checking out.”
– BNET (CBS Interactive): “Email Is Dead! Use This Cross Between SharePoint and Facebook Instead”

Modeled on popular sites such as Facebook, the software includes components for project management and other business tools. It also incorporates modules for sustainability efforts, such as carpooling.”
– The Oregonian: “Startup: FMYI of Portland”

“…I talked to company President Justin Yuen this week who said that it’s already helping HBO and Hyatt Hotels with this product. It’s also a great way for people to telecommute, making it a green product. They get to stay at home and use this at home.”
