If you wait a while, you'll receive an email saying "We added you to the early access list and will send you a getting started email once your account is ready".

And if either of you send me your email - I'd be happy to send you a message that'll give you an account!

Ok, thanks - just emailed you. (I recognised your handle, as I've spoken to you by email in the past).

Squared seems to leave out two of Slack's biggest features: "Integration with other services" and "Search Anything"

Both of those features are only a matter of time.

And one of the things we should realize is that they do have real integrations with all the videoconferencing stuff.

I'll follow up with a keynote video tomorrow night. There's a couple spots out there, but nothing easy to get to.
