Can Slack kill the intra-office email?
Messaging service Slack has created some buzz in recent months with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull urging his cabinet to get onto it. Here Cameron Wall explains what it is.
New lingo is being heard in many startups and more frequently in agencies and enterprise departments lately, with “Slack it to me”, “I Slacked you last night” or “Saw that on Slack” being communicated. Is Slack finally going to kill the Email star?
Email has for a long time been the “killer app” on the web since the mid 90’s until the last few years where it quite frankly has become a chore. Way too many brands, businesses and of course friends and family deploy email at will and over all those years no one has been able to fix email.
Its only useful if everyone you know is on it right?
So you have to convert your whole office to use it otherwise people will miss out on important communications, thereby defeating the purpose
Excellent idea – give all your in-company emails to the Romanian mafia operating the cloud…
@The Truth This of Slack for teams if you have a large office.
@john Slack doesn’t replace email it gets rid of the problem of having a single email with a bunch of recipients and having to read through every email in the thread to catch up on an issue.
