The very best office collaboration tool I've used was a self hosted copy of Reddit that was hooked into our ActiveDirectory for authentication.
We didn't have it too long before I left that company, so I'm not sure how it turned out, but it was pretty excellent for discussing things.
- jacobwal 9y agothat sounds really cool. What was great about it?
- swsieber 9y agoWell, I only have experience with chat apps, but I think it's the advantages of chat (rooms/subs basically for teas + private messages), but without the expectation of immediate feedback. Also probably great searchability.
- jacobwal 9y agoThanks for sharing your POV
- fujiters 9y agoNot OP, but threading. So many collaboration tools I've worked with are indistinguishable from the comment section of a blog or newspaper. The vast majority of the comments are useless, with people arguing over ridiculous things, but there's no natural segregation of useful comments and useless, so all you can do is scroll about hope to encounter something worth while.
- jacobwal 9y agoThanks for sharing that, I'm a fan of threading as well but see a lot of Slack groups that operate as though it wasn't an option
- paleotrope 9y agoCheck out the chatty at shacknews.com The immediacy of irc with threading to keep things readable.
- AtlasLion 9y agoHa, I remember using pligg ( I think that's how it was called) which was a digg clone. We really nice too.
- rbanffy 9y agoOne cool thing I did, a long time ago while working at an advertising agency, was to set up an internal NNTP server for discussions. Sometimes I wish we had that again.
