This is another example of Slack eating other business tools and it vertically integrates team collaboration tools. They're uniquely positioned to compete with long-standing, big players because they have access to a unique graph (the people you work with today) and own the real-estate team's use throughout the day (reducing friction). Next up: Google Docs, Dropbox, Trello. What else?

If you wrote a version of this paragraph, but justifying what Instagram is doing, it would probably be really compelling.

@rrhoover We’ve invested a lot into the Slack platform and our partners in the space. Everybody should have access to the tools, apps, and workflows they need to get work done, and we think it’s a much better experience if it’s streamlined in one interface! This is a great time to remind teams that they can switch to other calling apps in Slack and we’re working on integrating them even better. We’re not looking to “eat” other business tools, but bring them into the fold in a way that makes life easier for people.

@christoy Same for Facebook, but they don't execute nearly as well.

I don't know if that's entirely true. Lots of orgs already use Google Apps (G-Suite or whatever they're calling it now). The instant Google releases Hangouts Chat broadly, I can see a lot of orgs having a really, really hard time justifying Slack's additional cost when they can just use Hangouts.

@rrhoover Plus as 3rd parties add integrations, slack can probably track usage and use that as evidence for new feature sets they build out themselves. Amazon did that with plenty of their vendors, tracking sales and figuring out what product lines to get into themselves. Being a 3rd party supplier on someone else's platform is always a risk.
