We've been using this for several months at &yet and it's been a surprisingly valuable tool. At first, my thought was honestly, "So what? It's a threaded message board." until we actually started using it.
It's actually the feature restraint that makes it so remarkably useful and powerful.
Here's what we do. Every day, we start a new thread and each person on our team posts a daily checkin "rating" their day and then writes any comments on what they worked on, what they learned, what frustrated them, etc. Super simple stuff, for sure, but it's been one of the most valuable things we've done for creating a strong sense of team and togetherness.
What's been most surprising about this is that most of our team of 15+ work within feet from each other in our office, but our team's connectedness feels better than ever as a result of Ginger.
