We LOVE Slack. I just started working with the company I'm working for now and there hasn't been a time we haven't used Slack. It's great for remote purposes and we all work remotely currently. One cool thing is that you can start a google hangout (I know hangouts kinda suck) from Slack, just type in /hangouts in a channel. I can't wait until Slack builds their own video chatting into their product. We also split things up into channels, but not by project, more by product. We have a "tech" channel that's integrated with github, crashlytics and probably something else. Slack is great for sending and storing files as well. I used to just post everything to basecamp for our files, but now Slack can hold them for me.
