Think of it this way, if you are sitting in the office then anyone can come talk to you in your cube. I think it can be great app if you keep it running during fix hours like 3 hrs in the afternoon when anyone can come and ping. Rest of the time you dont have to keep it on.

- masukomi 6y agothink of it this way, most knowledge workers are finally free from being constantly interrupted by people who just feel like stopping by to chat, or don't really know or care that you're focusing on something. Now, there's a tool to bring that back! <sarcasm>It's only like 15 minutes to get back on task after every single interruption. That won't hamper productivity at all. Much more important for me to get instant answers and boredom reduction whenever i feel like it. </sarcasm>
- zumachase 6y agoI get that. I have plenty of time where I zone out of Squawk. But there are definitely projects/periods where I need to constantly be checking in with a dozen people and various subsets of that dozen. If that's not a problem you face, then Squawk is definitely the wrong tool for you.

- qorrect 6y agoYeah don't use it if it's not right for you. I could see how this could be extremely useful in the right scenario. ( I will not be showing this to my boss).
- cryptozeus 6y agoThink of it this way, some enjoy chatting with people to take a break. Some enjoy posting comments on HN with <sarcasm> :)
