Public Sticky notes
In an opt-in culture, employees contribute to conversations where they gain the
most satisfaction and have the largest impact. They look beyond their tiny
fiefdoms and seek out situations where they can add value and offer their
expertise.

Have you ever left work at the end of the day and thought to yourself, “All I
did today was respond to emails?” In email-based companies you frequently spend
your days knocking down emails like a bad game of Whac-A-Mole.

The main problem with email is that you have little control over what lands in
your inbox. Most emails are either (i) people asking you to do something or (ii)
conversations between two or three people (frequently executives) with a dozen
innocent bystanders in the cc line. The only way to shut out the noise in an
email culture is to opt-out and say “Take me off this thread!”

- deploy a wiki where users can opt-in to conversations happening in the wiki
either by subscribing via email or via RSS. With email and RSS notifications,
users can actually monitor and participate in conversations happening all across
the company.
