Big news for basecamp fans. The basecamp API was released this weekend.

Basecamp is a unique project collaboration tool. Projects don’t fail from a lack of charts, graphs, or reports, they fail from a lack of communication and collaboration. Basecamp makes it simple to communicate and collaborate on projects.

An API forum has been set up here.

Enjoy!
