In Zulip, streams determine who gets a message. Topics tell you what the
message is about.
Topics are light-weight subjects, very similar to the subject line of an email.
Like in email or a forum, messages about the same topic are shown together as a
conversational thread. Here is what it looks like in Zulip.

Topics are one of the most wonderful aspects of using Zulip:
* Lots of conversations can happen in the same stream at the same time, each in
its own topic. You never have to worry about interrupting — each
conversation has its own space.
* Conversations can last many hours or days, letting everyone respond in their
own time. Don't worry about replying long after a message is sent —
everyone will see your reply in context.

helps transform how your organization communicates.
