I can see that both Microsoft and Google have tried Slack at least. This doesn't mean they are still using it (vice versa).

Since Skype is not really light-weight anymore and Google chat did not really take off, It looks like that Slack found himself a good spot in between.

I just realized that any facebook user can signup on https://facebook.slack.com/ with his fb username.

And this is why you should silo customer domains from internal domains as github did (smartly)!

Github has already faced this issue and homakov[1] pointed that out.
