Gantt + Twitter = Ganttzilla

Now you can see classical "What's happening?" field like in Twitter. Here you or any member of your team can enter any text about status of the task, question or link to external document.

Then press "Update" button. As result, info bulb near task "Test cases writing" becomes green and progress line appears inside corresponding blue bar at right side of the Gantt chart:
















You can add more Tweets to more tasks. And then click on "Status Log" menu bar. Here you can see all Tweets over your project. You can apply filters by Task name or Resource name:

















Enjoy our new interactive Gantt!
