I like the phrase 'instant collaboration', which encompasses all the uses of QuickTopic forums and Quick Doc Review.

QuickTopic Pro will add four initial features prioritized by people's response to a survey I did a few weeks ago
(http://www.quicktopic.com/cgi-bin/vote_new...gi?mode=show_scores), tempered by ease of implementation for me. More of these features will follow, all geared towards making life better for topic creators who manage long-running topics. There'll be an annual or monthly fee. There's also a new feature coming that makes it really easy to move a conversation from email to QuickTopic -- 'revolutionary' might be too strong a word, but I think it can change the way people work. I'm really excited about that, and I may announce it along with the release of QuickTopic Pro.

There's also a QuickTopic Enterprise Edition coming, available as a hosted service or for in-house installation, which adds extra features like by-invitation-only topics and more extensive logging. I think that QT in the enterprise, used for all the significant group conversation that's normally done via email, can be the basis for knowledge sharing that's almost impossible with email. Imagine being able to take any group email conversation easily to QT, then being able to search those conversations with any stock inhouse search engine. I actually think this has even bigger potential for corporate knowledge sharing than enterprise weblogging.
My best hope is that these will enable me to take QuickTopic from a part-time pursuit (it's just me) to full-time and even hiring some people. My biggest kick, though, is having thousands of people using it usefully every day. Of course I'd like it to be millions of people.
