Zenbe, promoter of enlightenment and inner-peace via e-mail overload solutions, operates under this belief. Their newest offering is called Shareflow, and is described as an answer to the question: What if we could create a separate conversation, invite a specific audience to that conversation, and make it accessible on the Internet?
Basically, it’s a real-time collaboration service that combines e-mail, instant messaging and social networking. Sound familiar? Probably.
It Starts with a Flow
Say you're at work and your co-worker e-mails you about a project that involves you and a handful of other people. It's a juicy e-mail full of innovative and eloquently articulated ideas, and it's apparent that the rest of the team would greatly benefit from reading it. In order to spread the word, you, the smart one, then create what is called a "Flow."
Zenbe encourages users to think of a Flow as a folder for any and all chit-chat or documents related to the Flow's assigned topic. Each Flow comes with its own e-mail address, so, in our hypothetical situation where you're the smart one (don't worry, you probably are in real life too) you forward the juicy e-mail from your co-worker to the Flow and bam, there's your conversation starter. The next step is to invite everyone else from your team to join the Flow and watch as they start chatting real-time about the genius ideas contained in the original e-mail.
