Once my company got to over 100 people, it started driving me insane. One of the best tools we utilized to avoid mgmt drowning in emails was a simple in-house blog. Instead of getting bombarded with inane announcements (ex: "Doughnuts downstairs!") we gave staff a forum to post news that wasn't necessarily mission critical. Then we could all simply view the company's "daily news" as we desired. It sends out a 1x per week summary to all staff so that nobody can say they didn't see it. This permits us to view info when WE have the mental time to do it, rather than having the day constantly interrupted. Genius! Once my company got to over 100 people, it started driving me insane.
