We live in a world where more and more things are being done digitally — take us here at AP for example. None of us live in the same state (hell, a couple of us are even in different countries), and we do everything digitally. The days of teams working exclusively through email are also over, with new services combining the best of email and instant message into once service.

Along those same lines comes Bolste, a fresh-out-of-the-box chat service designed for employee collaboration and team communication. In comparison to some of the competition, Bolste is a relative newcomer to the game, so the best way to really find out more about what it can do is to sign up for the service and give it a whirl. Since they're just now getting off the ground there isn't an app available yet, so you and your team (or whoever) can be some of the first to get a taste of what's coming. We think that's pretty neat. For those who want a little more info, this is how Bolste describes itself:

Bolste is an all-in-one communication and collaboration solution that helps users instantly unlock time, efficiency, flexibility and creativity. Individuals and teams of all sizes can utilize Bolste to streamline communications on the web and mobile, cut down clutter and improve productivity, regardless of when or where people work. You can chat privately, share files, assign tasks, and organize projects quickly and easily all within an intuitive workspace.

To celebrate the launch of the service, we've partnered with Bolste to give away a 32GB Aluminum Nexus 6P. This is a phone that needs no introduction, so let's just get right into it, shall we? You know the drill:

We're going to let this one run till the end of the week, so it ends at 11:59 PM PT on Friday, 12/11. That's just a few days, so get your entries in quickly! Good luck!
