While email shines as a tool for person-to-person correspondence, it can often be less effective as a collaborative space for teams. It can be difficult to share old messages in a thread with a new team member to bring them up to speed. Furthermore, the process of fleshing out new ideas often works better as a conversation rather than a correspondence. A number of collaboration platforms have arisen in recent years that provide both a global history and a more conversational interface. Twist is one such platform. Unlike similar platforms, Twist maintains the concept of threads with their own distinct topics. It also features an inbox where users can see all threads with recent activity. The Why Twist and Compare to Slack sections on Twist's website present an argument for why this organization is a sweet spot for team collaboration. While some upgraded versions of the platform come with a price per user, there is a free version available. Twist is available on the web, as an application for Windows and Macintosh computers, and in the iOS and Android app stores.
