What ended up happening was that we ended up with multiple parallel communication channels instead of using the new one because people from the outside were always sending us regular emails that would then get incorporated into an email stream. So, I can see the idea as possibly being a good one, except in the real world we were able to use existing tools in email to make it work well for us. The universality of email makes it hard to beat for business or personal communication.
Is this what Fastmail wants to achieve with Topicbox?
