&gt; I&#x27;ve yet to find a better intra-office communication tool.
&gt; If I&#x27;m having trouble doing it with email, I immediately
&gt; switch gears and either get up and go talk to somebody or
&gt; to go do some fact-finding.<p>...<p>&gt; ... everyone who wants to replace email ...<p>I like email too. In the office, though, I&#x27;ve found it best used as one tool among many. In my last job we used email, IRC, a bug tracker, etherpad, pastebin, mediawiki, git+gitlab, and another &quot;fulltext search most of the above&quot; service.<p>I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s too many things -- are there good usability wins from combining a few of these things into one? Maybe not -- so long as everything we want to &quot;point to&quot; and share has a URL, maybe we were served just fine with that many separate things.<p>Still, it&#x27;s easy to see why someone might say &quot;Look how limited email is, it&#x27;s not suitable for all of these extra tasks. I&#x27;m going to make something much more versatile.&quot;
