Some news outlets are reporting that a certain Mr. Butterfield has "created" something called "Slack" for Microsoft to unify all communications .... doesn't this sound like the BlackBerry HUB?:
From the Globe and Mail Dec. 7, 2014:
"From Flickr to Slack: B.C.'s Silicon Valley golden boy finds success in failure:"
?It? is a new startup called Slack, built around a productivity tool that combines all manner of interoffice communications ? from instant messaging to document transfers ? into one central hub. Founded in January of this year with a staff of just eight people, the company now employs 65, and recently completed a round of funding that implies a valuation of $1.1-billion (U.S.). In a town full of big new things, Slack has suddenly become the biggest and the newest.
In fact, the only thing bigger than Slack?s rapid rise is Mr. Butterfield?s plans for its future. In the same casual manner, he says his goal for Slack is to do for communication what Microsoft?s Windows did for software: become the unifying hub."
