Slack surely is putting HipChat on its toes. Competition is really good. I use and enjoy HipChat. The feature I love about it is the ability to temporarily invite someone (edit: a non organization person) to a room. It would be nice if it was possible to have it open all day and have it like an IRC. It would be perfect for having support rooms for an app. One thing i'd like HipChat to improve on is the timeout that happens to their desktop app. As long as it is open, I do not want to have to "reconnect". Nice one guys. And Nice one Slack. Surely, no slackers.

> The feature I love about it is the ability to invite someone to a room. Which really means that you can force people into a room, and there's no way to say "leave this room and don't let anyone force me back into it."
