Since Flow launched first, isn't Asana a Flow competitor?

Just what I was thinking. I'm interested in hearing how long Flow was in development versus Asana (2+ years?). Considering Asana hasn't launched diddly, I'd say flow is the incumbent.

Has Asana really been in development for 2 years? Maybe someone should send them a copy of Dreaming in Code.

Edit: Wow, I just looked at their "feature list" again. Do you REALLY need LDAP integration? Does it really need to be written in an in-house language? Why does a todo list that's supposed to work just as well for a single user need Gantt charts and a wall on each todo item?

If anyone's ever used Quickbase, that's what the feature set makes it sound like.

Given the items you mention, LDAP potential and Gantt charts the enterprise could be a bigger target for Asana than Flow at the moment.
