Everyone approaches online communication and collaboration in one way or another. I'm curious how many platforms you use to communicate and collaborate with people in and outside of your team. Think of: - Meetings - Messaging - Tasks - Notes - Supporting platforms (i.e. brainstorming, further documentation, etc.) Do you feel there are platforms missing, you hit the perfect combination or too many platforms in your current tool stack? Let me know your thoughts below!

My team uses Slack and Todoist to communicate and keep organized. We also started working on Collabwriting last year because we felt there was a missing link. Collaboration during online research seemed unnecessarily hard and we wanted to tackle that problem.

I've been using Slack and Basecamp - and I hate that you have to download docs in BC to see them. I do like that in BC you can create and assign tasks to people, use a common calendar for tasks, travel, clients, etc. One of my clients uses Google docs for EVERYTHING and it makes me crazy. They do use Slack, though, for communicating. Anything that gets communication off of email works for me... but I prefer Slack. Just wish it was easier to find assets that were shared there.

WhatsApp is the best way to collaborate.
