We (founders of ConferenceBadge.com) never enjoyed Slack nor other chat apps because they encourage immediate attention, or you just end up missing out. And we are a team of 4… can’t imagine using it in larger organizations.

We never found any tool that would completely satisfy our collaboration needs, so we created Missive: https://missiveapp.com

It’s built on the idea that conversations should be scoped and archivable, just like emails. It’s both a full-featured email client and chat app. We can share emails and comment within threads, as well as create new chats from scratch and invite only the right people to discuss specific matters. When a topic is over, we just archive or snooze it like emails.

I have written in details about our vision: https://medium.com/missive-app/building-the-team-communicati...

The way you describe it reminds me of Google Wave. That was way too complex for most people though.
