Slack Open European Headquarters in Dublin

by | May 14, 2015 | News, Work

Wow it's dusty in here. The last post was in February. Part of the reason for that is my family is temporarily in Dublin, Ireland.

My business partner and smooching partner James Sherrett is opening the European office for Slack.

Never heard of Slack? It's a messaging app for internal team communication. That means no more email, just this handy desktop and mobile app that organizes your messages and files in one place that is easy to search. https://slack.com/

Slack is disrupting the way teams communicate in the same way that Flickr changed how we share photos online. It's a very slick tool.

So, we've been busy with that. Did a launch event. Met the Taoiseach, the prime minister of Ireland. Travelled to France and Norway and around Ireland. We are Canada bound again in August.

Here's the official announcement, including a photo of James in the Trinity library. Stunning space. http://www.idaireland.com/newsroom/slack-open-european-headq/

And a quick snap of us with the Prime Minister of Ireland, called the Taoiseach here, pronounced T-shuck .
