Campfire
New in Campfire: Conference calling
Every so often we want to take a particular conversation to a conference call. Sometimes voice is better than typing. So now we just have to click a single link and everyone gets a phone number and PIN code to call in. We can have a quick call and then get back to work. Campfire also uploads a recording of the call back to the room for a record. This is especially useful for anyone who missed the call. You can delete the recording if you’d rather not have it stored permanently.

New in Highrise: Now your Dropbox can attach an email to multiple people
When you bcc: an email to your Highrise Dropbox, and you add multiple people to the “to:” field, Highrise will now attach the email to all the people, not just the first person listed in the “to:” field. Highrise will also add a line (in italics) at the top of the email inside Highrise listing all the contacts in Highrise that received the email.
