  • Helps keep discussions focused and easy to find.

💭 2. Direct Messages (DMs)

  • One-to-one or small group private conversations.

  • Useful for quick questions or private discussions outside channels.

 3. File Sharing

  • Users can upload and share documents, images, and links directly in chats.

  • Files can be previewed and commented on within Slack.

🔔 4. Notifications

  • Customisable alerts so users don’t miss important updates.

  • You can mute or set “Do Not Disturb” hours to manage focus time.

🧩 5. Integrations & Apps

  • Connects with tools like Google Drive, Trello, Zoom, Asana, GitHub, and Outlook.

  • Automates workflows and allows easy switching between tools.

📅 6. Huddles & Clips

  • Huddles = quick, informal voice or video chats within a channel.

  • Clips = short recorded video or audio messages that can be shared with teammates.

🔍 7. Search Function

  • Powerful search to find messages, files, or people easily.

  • Supports filters (by date, user, or channel).

👥 8. Threads

  • Keep conversations tidy by replying in threads instead of cluttering the main chat.

🌐 9. Cross-Workspace Communication

  • Slack Connect allows different organisations to collaborate securely in shared channels.

Crowdsourcing

  • Involves getting ideas, content, or feedback from a large group of people (the “crowd”), usually online.

  • The focus is on creative input or collaboration, not money.

  • Example: asking audiences to design a logo, vote on a storyline, or suggest features for a new media product.

  • Purpose: to engage audiences and use their creativity to improve or shape the media product.

💰 Crowdfunding

  • Involves raising money or financial support from the public, often through platforms like Kickstarter or Patreon.

  • The focus is on funding a project by collecting small contributions from many people.

  • Example: independent filmmakers or game developers asking fans to donate to help produce their work. Go fund me and kickstarter 

  • Purpose: to finance production without relying on traditional investors or studios.

 In Short

  • Crowdsourcing = ideas and input.

  • Crowdfunding = money and resources.
