Atlassian launches Stride, its Slack competitor
Now we have Slack, Discord, Gitter, Microsoft Teams, and Atlassian Stride.I'm not sure when chat rooms became a business tool. Personally, I find myself distracted more than anything from all the notifications these apps cause, I get less done.I have to be sure to quit every chat app and put my phone in "do not disturb" to disconnect and focus, and then I get coworkers mad that I'm not online.At least with email I could take a while to reply without anyone blinking an eye.
