I've noticed a lot of business/corporate people really don't "get" slack the same way an older person is bewildered by something like snapchat. We have a "legacy" (for lack of a better term) Lync system that they are holed up in and the split along those lines is very noticeable. Those same type of people who are on the teams firmly on the slack side tend to stay offline until they get an email notification, answer the mention or DM and then disappear again.

Damn. At just (now) 35, I'm apparently an "older person".

31 and feeling the same. Snapchat is the most effective generation splitter I've ever seen

I wrote a blog post about my experience with Snapchat. Not even being a creator, just a story consumer.

Watched some great thought provoking snaps. The fact that I could neither share the video nor watch the snaps on my own schedule drove me crazy.

So I deleted the app from my phone.
