Steve Yost rocks the house.
QuickThread: upgrading email. I should mention, for those who read my blog but not the QuickTopic site, that there's this new thing called... [Blur Circle]
I've gotten to know Steve Yost through our mutual ThreadsML efforts. So NOW he releases QuickThreads - which is part of his QuickTopicPro release.
Quickthreads is a key step in getting interop working between various forms of communications. Ever want to convert the on-going email interchange that you're all wound up in - to an organized message board format? Well that's what QuickThread is for!
Here's how it works:
- select a few of the messages that are part of your email thread. These messages will have the addresses of all the participants in it.
- forward (as attachment - from Outlook) to a specific QuickTopicPro mail address. Wallah! You've created a QuickThread!
- all of the participants will be notified of such and given the opportunity to opt-out.
- from then on all of you have a functioning QuickTopic thread to play with - which means you can submit entries via email - and it works like a mail list, or you can post entires on teh web site - but either way - all participants get it. A hybrid mail list/message board. QuickTopic strips out the last 'stuff' providing a clean summary of all stages of the conversation.
Only NOW you can start this DIRECTLY from the email interchange you're engaged in.....
Totally fucking cool!
Next stop a second ThreadsML compliant app - so we can move these conversations between systems! Thanks Steve! [Marc's Voice]
