Communicating effectively and sharing the load across a team of people can be hard. Especially in cases where the team is distributed geographically across multiple sites.

Pluto excels at this since the same account can be shared with multiple people -- the administrator just needs to invite them via a special secret code token, and they'll be ready to start participating in the joint account namespace.

In some situations, things can become harder since different groups should have different security visibility in the lists of activities being performed. Pluto solves this gracefully: todo lists are organized in multiple projects, and for each project, the security permissions tab can tweak, using intuitive drop-downs, the access level for each person involved (either none, read or read-write access).

Grouping to-do lists in projects based on their access permissions has an interesting side-effect: it encourages the formation of groups which maximize communication inside them and minimize external communication. In the case of people that should work together (either functionally or geographically), putting them in the same project group can speed up things tremendously since they can focus on their specific to-do lists and on getting things done fast inside their group. Communication across different groups is implicitly minimized.

Pluto features a list of recent changes ordered chronologically, which can prove very useful for those wanting to keep track of the project's direction. Everything is web-based, so there's no software to install and access is universal from any computer connected to the web. The account is protected via a username and password combination, or alternatively the login can be integrated with a third party credential provider (Pluto supports integration with Google, Yahoo, Facebook or OpenID user accounts).
