> so many high profile corporations

I think most of the perceived hype is generated by Slack itself and its SV valleys. I doubt that more than a handful of Fortune 500 companies even allow its usage.

Back in October 2014 it included at least some teams at MS, Apple, and big news organizations like NY Times, Wall Street Journal, etc. While it may not be 100% deployed, I'd bet that a lot of F500 companies have at least a few divisions that are all over it.

I've only heard anecdotally, but I wouldn't be surprised if many Fortune 500 companies' employees are using Slack without being "allowed".
