I just recently compared Slack and Hipchat and Slack seems to be the more advanced of the two at this point. The magic bullet in collaborative chat like this seems to be presence awareness. We used to use GTalk for this but since moving to hangouts we can't ever tell who is at there desk when we need them. Here's to hoping one of them gets it right; especially when you install on your desktop and your mobile device.
