My friend just introduced me to trello last week! And I really love this app! I use it for personal life too and put down things I want to say to my friends and share it with them.

One of the areas where Trello really excels is representing agile workflows, as evidenced by the many organizations that use Trello for internal organization. That said, I think Trello's biggest strength is the huge amount of flexibility you get to develop and experiment with a system of organization that you're comfortable with.

You probably wouldn't guess this just from a glance at Trello's UI, which is surprisingly clean and uncluttered. At its core, it's just a bunch of cards on a board (and you can use it as such), but as this article mentions, you can pull in more powerful features like checklists and labels to represent almost any workflow you can think of. It's a surprisingly powerful, modular system.

Does anyone knows what is Trello business model? I always enjoy seeing "free forever" but, you know, only a few things really are free.

Yes, I was going to ask this too. Their tour page says "Trello is free, now and forever.". Call me a skeptic, but I don't see that holding true unless they have some money to keep it running.

Oh yeah. I had wondered that too. Maybe they will be like dropbox and Evernote in the future. People can pay money to get the premium version with more features and space.

We plan to offer add-on and premium services that might be of use to people who are getting a lot of value out of Trello already. For example you could imagine that large corporations that already have Trello throughout their organization might be happy to pay for centralized administration utilities.

I agree completely, I've tried many project management apps and the main problem I had with them was the lack of flexibility - each had their own idea how project management should look and you didn't have a lot to say. Trello on the other hand really allows you to adjust the workflow to team and project needs, the concept is both simple and powerful.
