Slack is actually an acronym
The name of one of the world's fastest growing messaging apps appeared pretty self-explanatory. "Slack" seemed like a simple nod to what you shouldn't be doing at work. Turns out it was actually an acronym. It stands for Searchable Log of All Communication and Knowledge. In response to a Twitter inquiry last night, the co-founder and CEO of Slack, Steward Butterfield, explained that Slack came about as a better alternative to linefeed, the original codename for the now multibillion-dollar company. Yes. November 14th, 2012 (previous codename was "linefeed"): — Stewart Butterfield (@stewart) September 27, 2016 To prove the story was true, Butterfield uploaded a screenshot of a conversation with someone named Eric, likely Eric Costello, another co-founder of Slack. Costello pointed out that the name could have negative connotations, but Butterfield thought the name could be funny. "Our users would be Slackers :)" he wrote.
