Thanks, @rrhoover! One thing I like to think about is how the internet has been fully distributed from day one, and with that - so were online communities. These communities lived off of two core communication tools: IRC (urgent, quick chat) & Forums (important, thoughtful updates/discussions). As work becomes more diverse & distributed, they're starting to resemble online communities more and more. Slack took IRC, stripped it down, and rebuilt it up for modern teams in mind. We did the same thing but with forums. These two tools are meant to work together to give you the full range of communication. Create knowledge. If it's urgent, share it on Slack. If not, post it on Threads.

Really appreciate you sharing your experience, @garshythoel. Loom is leading the way for hybrid/remote work, so it means a lot to us that Threads has been valuable. If there's anything we can do (in addition to expediting the Loom integration ;)), please let us know!

Thanks for hunting us, @ivinay!

Great comment, @simonflore. A common question we get is how does Threads play into my current tool stack? Since a thread looks like a big white text box, the number one thing they ask is how it plays with doc platforms like: GDocs, Paper, Notion, etc. Here's how we think about internally: When it comes to communication/collaboration, there are two categories of software that we use: Tools & Communication Channels. [1] Tools are used to create specialized knowledge (sheets, slides, figma, docs, etc) [2] Communication Channels are used to disseminate & discuss (slack, email, meetings, etc) Threads is a channel built for important, thoughtful updates & discussions. Our belief is that for internal communication people should be using Slack & Threads. Create knowledge and if it's urgent (i.e. I need a response immediately), post it on Slack. If it's more important that everyone has time to read and respond thoughtfully, then post it on Threads. On Threads, you can create a dedicated thread, embed all of the relevant materials (docs, images, etc), and provide some meta context for what you're trying to accomplish. If you have a minute, give https://threads.com/how-we-use-it a quick skim. It's filled with actual threads from our organization. If you scroll half way through, you'll see a thread started by Rochelle Shen, and you can see the types of focused discussions that a team is capable of having when using a communication channel like Threads. Really appreciate your comment. Thanks for taking the time to share it!

Aw, thanks @awelfle!

@tom4, so cool! Thanks for sharing that with us.
