We're extremely happy to ditch the 'neediness' of our previous messaging tool for Twist. Now, we can focus on real work and engage with Twist when we're able to and not feel like we're missing out.

Our team had multiple text and email chains, a Facebook group, and sticky notes stuck to everything. We've put all that mess into Twist which has vastly improved our communication.

Everyone now feels like they're on the same page and not missing important details that got buried in chat while they were away from the computer.

Separating information into Twist threads means I'm able to search for what I need, when I need it, and can easily refer back to it without trying to decipher the context of a constantly flowing conversation.
