I don't think slack standups are a useful way to communicate this. I'd rather have it in the form of trello or pivotal tracker, for example, because those have audit logs and commentary. By all means, have people update those things at the beginning or ending of the day on a routine basis, but doing it in chat is just too ephemeral for me. I think it's often useful to ping people if you know you're going to need their help, for example, but that's not precisely a standup. It's just scheduling and communication.
