Exactly, the use pattern we've been seeing is teams adopting it all at once.

With respect to biot's comment, a lot of teams have found effective ways to work remotely, but a lot of teams are still looking for more fluid communication channels. QuicklyChat isn't going to appeal to everyone, especially not at first, but it definitely seems like we've struck a chord with a fair number of people.

Fair enough. It actually reminds me of this push-to-talk cell networks that I first saw advertised 15 years ago:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_(cellular_network)

That technology definitely struck a chord with a niche audience. I think the product's name of MiKE was chosen to appeal to male-dominated industries such as construction where it essentially functioned as a walkie talkie with unlimited range.
