This is going to destroy Slack
- erythrocyte 12y agoNo, this is going to destroy Facebook. Picture it this way: 1. You show up to work, and Facebook is now mandatory. It's attached to your real name, and Facebook helpfully connects your real profile to all your co-workers. 2. You now have to delete ALL of your non-work contacts, for fear of gossip contamination, and NEVER use Facebook outside of work again. 3. Everyone who has Facebook at work, now needs something to fill the gaping void of recreational social media. 4. A new upstart fills the void, and Facebook crumbles and implodes.
- gnopgnip 12y agoThis is a separate account from your existing Facebook account.
- subpixel 12y agoI disagree. This is great for Slack. They already have a product that people love, and of course this will raise their profile immeasurably, as people hear about FB's play and look into the available options. Additionally, Slack now has just about the best tagline in the world: 'We're not Facebook'.
- suttree 12y agoMaybe not, but it might eat into a lot of document/collaboration platforms.
- Synergyse 12y agoDisagree 100% - have you used Slack?
- m52go 12y agoIf I were leading Slack, I'd be ecstatic. This move by Facebook is validating. Also, I'm sure they'll produce lots of insights and make lots of mistakes I can learn from...on their dime.
