yoomoot

edit

Yoomoot is an award (Smarta100) winning innovative collaboration tool for professional discussions. It’s the only site in the world which makes long discussions organized. Yoomoot merges wikis, blogs, comments, forums, social bookmarks and Q&A into a single format. Summarised and editable posts create a network of interconnected questions and answers. Large and complex discussions are finally possible.

Yoomoot is characterized by:

• Navigability: A yoomoot discussion may have a thousand posts and a hundred tangents but will always be as structured and as quick-to-browse as a Wikipedia article.
• Concision: yoomoot discussions have no more posts than they need to have.
• Reusability: yoomoot makes it easy to find and update old discussions, preventing needless repetition and information-loss.
• Consistency: yoomoot merges comments, wikis, forums, blogs and social bookmarks into one simple and flexible format.
• Streamlined notifications: yoomoot makes it easy to see everything that’s new and relevant without being overwhelmed by a deluge of notifications.
• Focus: yoomoot’s format encourages structured, goal-oriented thinking in discussions.
• Civility: yoomoot’s structured format precludes the one-on-one personal attacks at the heart of most online incivility.
