Transcript: Can email last forever? By jonah stump Whos interested? (slack) I believe that slacks first thought may have been to only target the younger generation with this "innovative" new way of communicating But, as their company would soon go on to grow very quickly, they realized that all kinds of companies were using this huge companies like airbnb, pinterest, and shopify are using slacks to get a better form of communication throughout a company slack is targeting fairly newer companies that want a transparent form of communication with their co-workers, and mr. butterfield has backed it up with many reasons on how slack can help to better your company Key differences Why would somebody want slack? To keep it simple, slack is bascially a very user friendly version of discord that is business-focused It is very easy to talk to everyone at once, just a group of people, or a private conversation with just one other person I think the versatility of this product is what draws so many people in because it has so many features that only Slack uses It is a million times better than email because it keeps it conversational and casual while also being able to have serious conversations whenever need be The easiness of being able to go from channel to channel with the click of a button makes it very appealing to companies benefits? MAin benefits of slack You can literally do any form of work on Slack that you would need to like working on and sending documents, having calls, seeing announments from your co-workers, and other things like that The use of channels allows it so that basically whenever you speak you know it's going to the right group of people This is very convienent because you wouldn't want to send a department related question to the entire company One of the main things Slack prides themself on is also the security of your data on their platform, and I believe this is another key benefit of the company Personal experience I personally had never used Slack in my past but I do actually have a friend that uses it with his company and I asked him about it because of this assignment and he told me that he personally loves it He feels like it allows an open conversation with an entire company and people don't feel nearly as imtimidated to speak up He also said that when working on projects, it is very easy to make a new channel with just that group and then sending pictures back and forth is also very convienent I believe that Slack should market their product more on social media's because I know this company will entice the younger generation and people starting companies right out of college Monday.com Monday Monday is a company based program that is somewhat similar to Slack Here is a video briefly explaining the basics of Slack: https://youtu.be/_su3svzqHgc Monday.com is a Work Operating System (Work OS) that powers teams to run projects and workflows with confidence It’s a simple, but intuitive, Work OS for teams to shape workflows, adjust to shifting needs, create transparency, connect collaboratively, and stop doing all that boring manual work Whos interested (part 2) Who uses this? So although this program is mainly used by companies, it is also a great tool for individuals to keep track of their own work Where as Slack is mainly for just communication and announcements among eachother, Monday has much more than that It is also very visual making it so that you can basically know all you need to without having to read really anything It is mainly used by managers and it allows them to show a group of people a schedule very easily It is very customizable where with every tab you can have a lead, a status (done, still working on it, etc.), a timeline, number of people working on it, and even a priority Key differences What makes monday different Along with being able to communicate amonst themselves, Monday can also function as a CRM, manage ad campaigns, track bugs, manage customer projects, manage video production, etc. The amount of features on this one program may sound cluttered but it keeps everything very organized This is a managers dream because he is able to keep open communication with his employees while also being able to manage his own work all on the same platform I think all the features of Monday really does make it top Slack as Slack is somewhat limited when it comes to anything other than communication Benefits? Benefits of monday Monday is extremely user friendly on the manager side and the employee side I love how easy everything is to see on the screen with all of the color coding that they use I also like how easily customizable everything is on the website, makes it feel like you can put any detail you want on a project The timeline aspect is very unique because you can go to just the general calendar and you'll know exactly what everyone is working on and when This makes communication even easier because for example you would know to wait to talk to someone if they had one day to
