We have slack at work, which I have not used yet because I am lazy, but I know some of my co-workers do not like it. I will have to talk to them on Monday to get more information.
if it makes you feel any better, I've used Slack for work and everyone I know loves it.
also, I'm confused as to why people having Slack at work already means they couldn't use it for pin pals -- one of Slack's awesome features is that not only can you switch between channels inside your organization, you can also switch between organizations. Within your client you can be signed into your work's Slack group as well as the pin pal group. Each Slack group is essentially an IRC server -- you can set up channels, private groups, as well as direct messages with all of the members.
I think it's safe to say that a lot of people are already open to Slack. More than half of us have moved, so again, please click here to join if you'd like!
There has been some debate over the past few days about switching from WhatsApp to Slack. The consensus is we should stop debating and have a vote.
If you have used the community chat you are familiar with WhatsApp and if you would like to investigate Slack you can get an auto invite here: http://pinnypalsslackin.herokuapp.com

Pfft, these things never last. Like pirates vs ninjas, cake vs pie, and vi vs emacs before it, people will identify the proper choice and everyone will be happy.

Hello everyone. There is now a bot in Slack's #trade channel that will do things like save/retrieve your lanyard link and do some basic pinmash lookups. Let me know if you have ideas for new features you'd like to see, as well as any and all problem reports.
