I think what Slack got right was the on-boarding/time to wow. In a sea of vanilla, sterile enterprise products was this tool that just seemed to be having fun with it. For small companies, particularly in the SF area, it felt like it understood their vibe. For larger companies, it felt like they were joining the cool kids. My team uses Slack now and honestly, it's nothing _that_ special. It's a chat room. It's done well and has nice integrations (that's their product moat), but adoption is so key and they nailed that.
- jernejzen 9y agoI think Slack is that kind of product that would never happen outside of the SF. A well know founder with an access to the capital, marketing machinery machinery and critical mass of early adopters. I like Slack and I use it but it's just because others also do. Otherwise I don't find it as amazing shift for the quality of my life or work.
