Flickr co-founder launches Slack, a messaging tool designed to kill email
- jmathai 13y agoThe most fascinating part of Slack is that it's following a similar path to that of Flickr. A game which didn't pan out followed by a pivot to a social/collaboration service.
- kapnobatairza 13y agoLooks like a more accessible front-end client for IRC - this is awesome. I love using IRC for communication and this just makes it an easier sell on less technical colleagues. I hope that the Slack service supports using your own IRC client as well. That would be the bees knees.

- us0r 13y ago"The Slack founder said he doesn’t track things like installs or signups because those metrics are “bogus,”" LOL this guy is full of shit. He has 4 tracking codes just on his website. Aren't people done trying to kill email?
