Yep, I remember IRC, although I never really used it. I thought it started in
the late 80s; maybe I’m older than I thought. ☺
Hey, I remember when these things were all called “bulletin boards”.
Cheers,
Nick

This seems to be just a fancy graphic front end to IRC !! Anyone here old
enough to remeber that, it is 1970s technology? It still serves me well
(#english channel), but at my current work site, access to IRC is blocked, as
it is to Slack.

Hi Nick
I don’t know you, so please don’t take this personally.
But this is the inherent tomfoolery of innovation.
The Austechwriter list serves me perfectly well the way it is. I don’t care
that it’s 1990’s technology.
I’m still driving a car – that’s 19th century technology. Nothing wrong with
that.
Innovation is a good thing, but it’s a means to an end not an end in itself.
If innovation delivers something better, that’s great. If it simply delivers
something different, I may not be interested.
So, I’m a white man of a certain age who hangs with other white men of a
certain age. Phooey!

Damn! Sorry, I did say I was new to Slack. ☺
You’ve now been invited. I’ll invite others using addresses from ATW emails I
still have on file.
Thanks,
Nick

Slack told me it “To start using Slack, you'll need to be invited by your Team
Administrator.”

Ah, but in the ATW list, there’s no subset of channels. So you can’t choose to
focus on a conversation, or deliberately ignore it. ☺

You send messages (chat) within a channel, or privately (direct to another
person).
I have been doing that on the old ATW list.

Hi AusTechies. The “1990s” technology did comment sting. So I just created an
AusTechWriter team in Slack, the “messaging app for teams”, for us to flirt
with another social media option. Perhaps the relationship will blossom this
time. ☺
Interested?
• If you’re already a Slack user, join team austechwriter.
• If you’re not, go to
https://austechwriter.slack.com.
When you join, you’ll get the chance to download an app if you want to.
• I may send invitations directly to a tiny handful of you whom I’ve
actually met.
• Slack help:
https://austechwriter.slack.com/help.
I’m quite new to Slack myself, since my company started using it very recently,
but I see the potential.
• Communication is in “Channels”, chat rooms in the team.
• You can set up your own channels, which can be private or public.
• You send messages (chat) within a channel, or privately (direct to
another person).
The two default conversations are #general and #random.
See you there. ☺
Cheers,
Nick

Look at us! We are still communicating using a “list”…the same technology we
were using when we first got the internet. We flirted with Ming and a few other
options, but the reality is that human beings just don’t communicate well using
social media style products. So we stick with 1990s technology.
