QuickThread: upgrading email

I should mention, for those who read my blog but not the QuickTopic site, that there's this new thing called QuickThread. I'm excited about it because I think it can change the way people use email for group conversations.

It's what I was talking about in my Write the Web interview with Giles Turnbull:

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.

and I alluded to its usefulness when installed in an organization:

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.

Please check it out!

Now back to our regularly scheduled personal weblog.
