## What Jamie wrote

Amazing value for Slack. Not sure I like the idea of Salesforce buying it. I’m a regular user of Slack to communicate with my team and it is amazing. When you get deeper into it, you find even more power. I just don't really get what Salesforce sees here beyond buying a great product.
