    I wonder what their business model is if they’re not charging money.

    If you’d like a tool for managing your time and projects, you can use this application inspired by David Allen’s GTD:

    http://www.Gtdagenda.com

    You can use it to manage and prioritize your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use checklists, schedules and a calendar.
    A mobile version and iCal are available too.

    Gantt charts of course are still important, but lately i think more and more managers understand the project success lies in team and knowledge, that is why we see project management tools that concentrates on collaboration and knowledge management. http://www.comindwork.com is one of those tools.
