Looks like a better version of Yammer, very different from Slack despite people making the comparison.

@rrhoover Yammer never really worked for me. I'm also a little apprehensive about associating my facebook account (which is keep largely private for family and friends) to my identity at work.

@rrhoover I thought it was like slack but reading your comment maybe we could use slack and Workplace at the same time.

@rrhoover Slack is communication for the tech savvy people, FB At Work will work for the rest of us ;-)

@mountainmatt That would be the biggest turn-off for me, but I can see it working in other industries that rely on those bonds. Music promotion, for example.

@rrhoover that is also what came to my mind.

@rrhoover I don't see any similarities based on screenshots to be honest. Too distracting with the usual feed stuff too.

@rrhoover I thought it was also very different than Slack, but when we talked w/ a FB PM on this he was very adamant they were targeting Slack and didn't seem to believe it made sense for us to run both.

@erwblo @rrhoover I disagree, since I have my entire family using Slack instead of Facebook. ;-)

@_rsamuelson Sorry, I just now saw this. It's simple since it's free from Slack. Just go to slack.com and you can pick a name for your "team". Simple. Only caveat is that you're limited to 10,000 messages. We haven't come close yet.
