This is a great piece on the #Slackquisition by @CaseyNewton with depressingly spot-on commentary from @levie.

I would bet — and have, quite literally, and will continue to — that experience will matter at some point in a very major way. It already does, it just hasn’t fully surfaced itself yet. But it will.

There’s a lot to unpack in this and certainly the, um, (lowercase) sales force/offering component is one key element right now. But this is just one moment in time. And timing is everything. https://t.co/MlSdrjOiX5

You probably didn't think I had any thoughts on Slack + Salesforce, but you're wrong. Here they are and what it means for the future of software: https://t.co/8vl6NhwhnU

I’d played it conservative and taken the cash.

It’s never obvious.

Even when you’re on the ground floor.

So your startup now uses Microsoft (host & edit code) and Salesforce (chat) doesn’t it?

How the times have changed. https://t.co/v7frQlOjGR

Marc Benioff is going head to head with Microsoft now that Salesforce plans to buy Slack. So what does he think of Microsoft?
When asked, he told @DavidStreitfeld, "What's that company? How do you spell it?"https://t.co/fzPQEm3gbx

In a 30-minute interview, @Benioff⁩ “rejected all opportunities to talk about his history with Microsoft or even acknowledge its existence. ‘What’s that company?’ he said. ‘How do you spell it?’”

Nice op-ed in the @NYTimes. Enjoyed having a chance to weigh in on the story. $CRM is making a big bet, and it won't be easy. But, Marc Benioff is a very good marketer and shouldn't be underestimated. Marc Benioff Sets His Sights on Microsoft https://t.co/tNLiGlBgxL #Tech $MSFT pic.twitter.com/Mxdbcu3W53

Yesterday Salesforce bought Slack for $27.7B.

This is a lesson for all of us - Internal tools have the potential to become giants because they solve real business problems.

What internal tools do you use?https://t.co/CB8YpRR30p
