Quill will shut down, but its team will join Twitter and users who want to export their team message histories, which will be available until 1PM PT on December 11.
"We started Quill with the goal of increasing the quality of human communication. We believe the tools we use to communicate today are not the best they can be.

Meanwhile, new Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal said that his top priority in the new role is to improve the company's execution and streamline how the micro-blogging platform operates.
Agrawal, appearing for the first time since replacing Jack Dorsey at the Barclays technology conference said that the company was "operating previously in a functional structure where we had a single engineering organisation, a single design research organisation, and product teams that were matrixed into them."
