Slack的内部沟通协作平台是由Flickr创始人创立的，将分散的沟通方式集中在一个地方的平台，比如邮件、IM、短信、Yammer、intranet、Wiki等工具。

　　Slack除了集成通信方式之外，还集成了一个文件共享系统，公司内所有共享的文件，包括上传到Slack的文件和存储在GoogleDoc或Dropbox中的文件，都可以通过内置的搜索工具进行全文搜索。Slack还集成了Twitter、Zendesk、Crashlytics和Heroku等服务，并将它们的通知提醒、Bug跟踪和其他数据集成到公司内部的信息流中。目的只有一个，做一个能解决公司所有问题的工具。

　　Relax. Your team's communication problems? We've got that.Slack brings all your communication together in one place.It's real-time messaging, archiving and search for modern teams.

　　Modern Messaging

　　Fast, flexible messaging for Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad & Android. Archived and organized as you go, with configurable alerts, notifications and sync so you never miss a beat.

　　Any File, Anywhere

　　Share, serve, star & comment on files. Images, PDFs, text snippets, zips —even files you store elsewhere, like Google Docs— are all indexed & accessible wherever you go.

　　Universal Search

　　Slack is built around search from the ground up. It captures everything you put in. Slice, dice, filter, sort and winnow: you'll find what you need faster.

　　Slack is just fun to use. We've used a lot of tools to engender productivity – agile tools, bug trackers, task managers – and they become all about the tools. Slack gets out of the way and allows us to communicate as if we're in the same room.
