  We started using it at work to replace Skype/Msn. It works fine. Nothing really groundbreaking. Its easy to share a file or paste a screenshot right in the chat. and you can register all sorts of webhooks into it so you get notifications from your 3rd party services for instance. It really quickly gets cluttered up if you do that though, so you end up making those discreet channels that you then ignore, which kind of defeats the purpose.

  I think most of the hype is PR honestly. Doesn't seem revolutionary to me, just a slightly better ICQ. Definitely not replacing email.

  • Yeah, I agree - Slack's handy, and seems like a logical evolution ... just not some profound revolution.detritus
