Maybe you are right that the game is over and Slack won. I don't think so. I believe they uncovered a market not even they knew was there. If I am correct there will be quite a few winners in what I believe to be a huge market. Over the next decade EVERYONE will gradually stop using email for their team communication. That is 1 Billion business users of email.

When I took SalesLogix public in 1999 there were other CRM companies that went public around the same time. Multiple winners. And where I am going with differentiation ultimately I don't care what Slack does. I only care now in order to become a known brand. Something we have pretty good start on.
