Seems like the kind of thing that our increasingly 'open' startup culture could utilize as we move toward complete corporate translucence!

Also a viable liveblog option using the product that's already used for communication vs. a dedicated liveblog app:

1) Create a #channel for a specific event. 2) Turn that channel "live" 3) Embed the IFRAME in your blog post 4) Liveblog away

A big need a lot of us on the "free plan" need is a way to archive our chats. That's what I thought this was initially.

This is fairly close to that functionality -- but not exactly there yet.

What are you looking for in an archive functionality that isn't available (a) via Slack's own export tool (JSON dump of your channel), (b) other O-S archivers or (c) paying for Slack so that you have all your messages available? Ability to archive channels regularly/automatically and search contents (outside of Slack)? That's a direction I've considered going since searching within Slack is IMO a pain.
