Break Out of Your Creative Cage

One of the really great things about working on the Web is that it can be done from pretty much anywhere, as long as there is some kind of connection. This, of course, has its downsides, particularly when it comes to collaborative projects.

Many companies have tried to find a solution to this problem by creating tools aimed at these professional teams that may not always be within the immediate proximity of one another.

One such tool is Cage, a brand new collaboration application that allows creative teams to present their work for feedback and approval. The app just recently launched its public beta version.

Creative professionals can use the application to easily upload and present files, but they can do far more than that. It also allows them to manage tasks, organize revisions, and receive approvals form team members in a single environment. The public beta version is undergoing a massive redesign and interface redevelopment, as well as introducing a multitude of new or improved features.

Some of these enhancements include the ability to manage, assign, and complete tasks within the app, in-app sharing, a video player with the ability to offer frame-by-frame feedback, support for a wide variety of file types, customizable email notifications, an archive of inactive products, and more.

Since its private beta release in 2011, Cage has been utilized by over 20,000 creative professionals, including employees of Marvel Comics, Electronic Arts, Target, Twitter, and more.
