What is Slack? Slack is a business communication tool. Here is a summary of what it offers:

• Channels – These are group chats that can be public (i.e. for everyone automatically) or private (i.e. the team members need to be invited to join).
• Direct Messages – Send a message to a team member (i.e. like any other Discord, Skype, ICQ, MSN Messanger, …. messaging service).
• VOIP Calls – connect with a team member or group of team members (voice and video).
• File sharing – drag and drop any files (limited size in free version).
• Search – Quick search results from all channels and direct messages for whatever you are looking for.
• Third Party Tool Integration – Hook up third party tools to send notifications to slack channels.
• Mobile App – iOS and Android apps that keeps you constantly in the loop of what’s going on with the team.

Stay tuned for much more interesting news in the future! read more
