| Slack is a communication tool similar to IRC. On top of standard IRC
kinds of things (group, direct chat), it has a lot of other
functionality like sharing files, nice links when URLs are put, and
external application integration. For more information, you can
browse the main slack site at http://slack.com.
Slack also has an IRC gateway so that IRC clients can be used to
communicate with it. (This needs to be enabled, but that's easy
enough to do if there is interest.)
I hadn't gotten into slack until recently where it's popped into use
by a number of other communities I'm a part of. It has an attractive
UI and is good for casual conversations, IMO.
