Re:Subj: threaded discussion via browser or email

While you're waiting anxiously for Google Wave to open to the public, you can find some similar features at Re:Subj, a site that integrates comments via email or the web into a threaded discussion. Re:Subj is quick and easy to start using, with no registration required. Just start an inbox by entering a subject and a message and some email addresses to send it to. Now any recipient can reply to the thread via email or in the browser.

Re:Subj does a lot of work for you, like removing quoted sections of the email replies so information doesn't get reposted again and again, and turning URLs into links with no need for manual HTML tagging. You can also control privacy settings, leaving your inbox readable by anyone, or restricting viewing to those on the list. If you want to use Re:Subj completely in the browser, you can uncheck a box to stop getting email notifications. It's a simple, unfussy way to get a thread going about something without requiring people to sign up to a group or an email list.
