What do people think about Slack? Will it get as big as the hype? The enterprise collaboration software space seems a bit too crowded.
Hasn't killed email yet, on the contrary I gotta check Slack more than email.
Sadly, nothing is going to kill email
What's wrong with email?
There's nothing wrong with it, but it's been around for decades, so clearly it needs to be disrupted! :)
I feel it to be more of a hype
we use it and love it. Skype and email are turd
Do they have a huge presence outside of the bay area...?
It's ok. I have like 6 different channels and I find their UI as not very efficient. It's annoying that I have to manually add channels to both desktop and phone. And I wish they had a central view for current channels and messages instead of having to dig through all of the channels to see where you got mentioned. In general it's better than Skype at messaging, but I find most of the discussions as very unproductive.
Both of those are actually adjustable in setting
Where?
There are some good open source alternatives such as the following... http://www.wired.com/2016/03/open-source-devs-racing-build-better-versions-slack/
Hype for me but who knows how messaging apps can turn out, from busts to Whatsapp. The quantity of communication channels has a practical limit and many groups are seeing it at email + im with little room for a 3rd.
Never tried it
