  • Slack is the new chat

    Kiki Schirr, writing about Slack for Tech Cocktail:

    But there are also myriad secret Slacks. Like the now-passé secret groups of Facebook, these are kept relatively quiet; many members don’t even appreciate acknowledgement they exist, let alone mention of being a member. One of my secret groups is for movers and shakers in the startup world, another I’m prohibited from talking about entirely.

    The chat is making a comeback, at least with techies. Personally, I think I’ll keep using Slack for work-related things primarily.

  • Humiliated

    Stewart Butterfield, co-founder of Flickr, on how they think of changing their service at Slack:

    Oh, God, yeah. I try to instill this into the rest of the team but certainly I feel that what we have right now is just a giant piece of shit. Like, it’s just terrible and we should be humiliated that we offer this to the public. Not everyone finds that motivational, though.

    I’ll say. I can’t see how this sort of management is positive in the long run. Then again, Slack is incredibly popular (we’re fans at Odd Alice), so what do I know?
