What do you think the biggest difference between Slack and Google Chat is? We thought we were doing just great with Goggle Chat when we were using it. IVAN: Yea, search is a big thing and I think the user friendliness of the system is another big thing. It builds file previews into it and it builds search into it. And the key functionality of it is the same as the key functionality of Slack, except that Slack also wraps it in a much easier to handle UI, it kicks a lot of those older, weird, obscure commands and mode statuses and all this other stuff that people don’t tend to care about. You didn’t have a lot of those built-in features that you were expecting, and as something that’s 30-40 years old, it has a number of layers of cruft on top of it and obscure commands and other weirdness that takes quite some time to figure out. You didn’t have search built in unless you were doing it locally. You didn’t have history unless you were logged in, and that depended on your client and your client’s configuration. In fact, a lot of people call it the original chat system. TESS: Well, it’s a congruence with different technologies compared to IRC which is basically a rather old school chat system. IVAN: So, do you think that’s what makes it awesome? It’s easy?
TESS: I wouldn’t necessarily say better, but it certainly is easier and that’s probably one of the key advantages of it. It’s very similar to IRC but better.ĬHARLENE: I’m trying to remember what IRC was like. IVAN: Yea, it’s really facilitated the real-time communication aspect of our business, especially the fact that we’re distributed, and I think the organization of Slack is really what makes the difference, being able to create channels and so on. It was just email or phone calls, and then the company after that it was Slack and then this one was Slack too. TESS FLYNN: When I was working on a big corporation somewhere before 2014, we didn’t even have a chat system. IVAN: How about you Tess? What did you use before TEN7?
It’s like as soon as Slack came on the scene everybody abandoned Flow Dock. So Slack? We started using Slack in 2014, so we’ve been using this thing for four years and I’m not sure what you guys have used in other jobs, in other projects, but we used Google Chat before that and it really transformed the way we talk to each other.ĬHARLENE JASZEWSKI: I’ve used Flow Dock in other companies before we switched to Slack. Joining me today again is Charlene Jaszewski and Tess Flynn. It’s what we use to talk to each other, to solve problems, to literally meet around the water cooler. A component that’s a cornerstone for us, more so because we’re distributed, is Slack.

Our Blueprint takes a number of things into account: how we store passwords, how we manage software releases and do versioning, what tool we use to track issues.
