Would you mind linking to the competing service you mention, or perhaps a review of it? I've been advocating for Hipchat but haven't seen Slack yet.

We switched from HipChat recently, so far it's working fine. The only thing we miss are cross team notifications, but apparently they are working on it (can't find the link at the moment).

@alexcroox can't reply directly for some reason, hopefully you'll see this.
It's possible, see https://slack.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201727913-Connec... for more details. You'll lose the history though. We've been using native clients more or less, all are working fine.
Does it integrate with 3rd party chat clients like Adium or are you forced to have their tab/client open too?
You can connect to it using an IRC client, but you lose the ability to view history or make edits to posts
You also lose the ability to mention other team members, which is huge.
Since I've only dabbled with it I can't provide a proper review, but the link is https://slack.com/
If you communicate with more than one team (different emails), I'd look into Hall. It's chat, text, file-sharing on all your devices. Hall.com
Here's a small review of how we use Slack at our company: http://hoistapps.com/blog/tools-we-love-slack/
tl;dr: it's awesome
Not the OP, but here's a link: https://slack.com/
I've used it, and it seems pretty good, but I don't have enough time behind the wheel to provide a review.
