I keep thinking it's just IRC all over again, but it's sticking around the YC virtual office so I'm gonna put it on the list. It's the way I was able to get Jessica Livingston to finally start using animated GIFs, so it's got that going for it.
Our team kept trying various productivity tools and none of them felt natural so they didn't stick. Slack was the first tool that instantly became a core part of our collaboration as soon as we started using it.
We started using Slack this week, and it feels like a totally natural fit for collaboration both within teams and for the company as a whole. I think each team will develop slightly different use patterns, which I'm really looking forward to seeing.
