QuickThreadSM Advantages
A QuickThread gives you these advantages over regular group email:
- Your email thread is kept in one central place -- the QuickTopic web forum -- so anyone in your group can easily review the whole discussion without searching their email inbox. People added late can easily catch up. It's easier to reach agreements and decide on actions. And the QuickTopic message board serves as an archive of the conversation (and can be downloaded in standard formats).
- Anyone can stop getting email from the conversation with two mouse clicks: there's an unsubscribe link at the bottom of every email. Yet they can still review the QuickTopic message board, or choose to get only daily updates via email. This lets people discuss freely without flooding the inboxes of peripheral participants.
- Participants don't have to change the way they work. The conversation continues naturally by email, with no extra steps needed -- people simply hit the email Reply button as usual. They don't even need to think about it!
How it works
When you start a QuickThread, all the messages in your email thread get posted to a new QuickTopic message board, and all the people participating in the email conversation are automatically subscribed and notified. From that point on people can continue to reply to this email as usual, and it'll be emailed to the group as usual, but it will also be added to the QuickTopic web forum.
Essentially, you've started a mini-mailing-list that's backed by a web-based bulletin board (or if you prefer the term, a group weblog with full email interoperability). And you've done it in one step from an existing email conversation.
