MyQuire is a social network for productivity, that allows users to manage tasks, scheduling, projects and photos. Users can also make friends and associates, and join networks.

Every user on MyQuire has a personal homepage, that is divided into sections including photos, tasks, projects, friends and there is a “Wall” as well where you could post random tidbits and ideas that come to your mind. MyQuire also provides each user with an inbox to send and receive messages from other users.

There is also a projects area, where users can create projects and assign members to them. To add a member to a project, simply drag the person from your friends list, and drop him on the project board. Each project is logged in the “My Hard Drive” section of the website, where you can manage the project folders via a WYSIWYG editor.

MyQuire also provides a calendar to add tasks to by day and time. The calendar could be synchronized with other popular calendar offerings including, Microsoft Outlook, iCal, and Mozilla Sunbird.

MyQuire has several communities for universities like Yale, Harvard etc, that students from these universities could join to manage team projects and tasks. However there is one aspect that I did not like, MyQuire is not free. Although there is a free basic account as well, but it is good for nothing, and allows users to manage just a single project. The premium account costs $5.99 per month and allows upto 20 projects, another unnecessary restriction that I would like to be removed.
