Stewart Butterfield, one of the founders, then went on to give the MMO thing another shot, starting one called Glitch in 2009. In 2012, it was deemed unprofitable, and they pivoted, re-developing their internal communication tools into Slack, which was wildly successful.

- ollien 5y agoOh man I remember Glitch! I remember waiting for weekends where it was up so I could play. I had no idea it pivoted into Slack. Thanks for sharing!
