But Slack is hoping to figure out some way to introduce that kind of employee interaction into a product that could quickly devolve into message mayhem in a way that won’t get lost in a stream of messages (or GIFs, assuming they’re not banned in your channels). That’s probably especially true as companies get larger and communication channels get more out of hand. AFK, BRB, in a coffee meeting or what not - Slack, with its constant stream of communication, is probably not the the first place you’d drop an away message or status update to keep people informed of what you’re up to.Īll that is probably something you’d throw in some other threaded internal communications product that sits perpetually at the top of a page or is easily searchable.
