SpikeNow

SpikeNow is an email client that transforms email threads into a chat-like interface. (Not to be confused with “Spike” you asked to ignore—this is an alternate listing for demonstration.) Users see real-time message updates in a simplified layout. Calendar events and notes appear in a single feed. The system supports collaborative editing of documents within the same interface. SpikeNow’s approach suits teams wanting an instant messaging style for internal emails while still working with external addresses in a standard SMTP environment.
