Slack isn't intended for "friends". Their business model is clearly aimed at supporting teams inside businesses. $60 per head is absurd for a tool to chat with friends but pretty reasonable for a business that gets real value from the tool.
- vorpalhex 10y agoThey clearly indicate otherwise. Slack is certainly meant as a productivity tool, but they make several claims: + For all kinds of "Work" + For teams of all types and sizes + Bringing people together to make them productive Compare that to the messaging for say Hipchat: + "Team chat built for business" + Enterprise features + Loved by your IT team (Edit - Formatting)
- dpark 10y agoI think you're selectively reading what you want to see. Slack's title line is "Where Work Happens". Work, teams, and productivity normally are not terms you use to describe chatting with friends.
