So, each company - or each team within a company (although that's not advisable) - creates its own Slack instance.

Inside that slack instance, they can create chat channels, create private channels, IM each other, share files, and in the paid version share screens.

And it's all seamless between the desktop, the web, and the mobile client.

It's at least a year ahead of the curve for third party integrations, too, compared to upcomers Zulip and Mattermost.

How do I do this? I am willing to guinea pig it for my business (2 of us only but our communication is fragmented badly) - Bacon Oct 27, 15:25 5
- We've got Skype for Business (formerly Lync). That's good enough right? - iSpam Oct 27, 16:26
- Uh, you go to slack.com and make an account for your company. It's pretty easy, actually. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 15:30
- How much for the paid version ? -- nm - Bacon Oct 27, 15:26 2
  - Too much. $5/user/month, I think. But the free version covers most use cases. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 15:29 1

Sometimes a Slack instance might be wide open and anyone can join, but usually it's limited to a specific email domain -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 15:17 1
- I kinda wish I'd created it. But no, I just have a humble little PHP forum. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 15:18
