Online document review and collaboration - PDF, Word and HTML Socialtext | Social Networking with Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration Say Hello To Slack, The Newest Enterprise Social Network, And The Latest Effort From Flickr Co-Founder Stewart Butterfield’s Tiny Speck Stand aside Yammer, Convo, Socialcast, Hipchat and the rest, and make way for another hopeful in the world of enterprise social networking: Stewart Butterfield, one of the co-creators of Flickr who subsequently departed from Yahoo in a colorful fashion in 2008, is today launching Slack, a platform aimed at teams of co-workers to converse, work on projects together, and share links, pictures and more in real time. This is the second service to come out of Tiny Speck, the studio started by Butterfield and other early Flickr employees. Tiny Speck first gained fame with a multiplayer game called Glitch. Glitch closed down in November 2012 after failing to gain enough user traction and failing to find a buyer. Slack is launching as a desktop, iPhone and Android app, with a responsive mobile web app in the works as well, Butterfield tells me. While gaming is definitely a tough game in the world of startups, enterprise may prove to be a richer field.

While most organizations have some understanding of their identity, few think of it as a way of driving performance. Coaches and players may come and go, but the cornerstone of Barça’s identity is La Masía (The Farmhouse), the club’s youth academy located inside Joan Gamper Sports City on Barcelona’s outskirts.
