Salesforce has wasted little time before integrating its new Slack acquisition with existing products.  It just announced a collection of features under the awkward “Slack-First Customer 360” label, including Slack-powered collaboration features, notifications, and watchlists.  A few are available now or soon but the major sales, service, and marketing features will only start to pilot this fall.

Irony alert: eyeo, which owns the world’s most popular adblocker, Adblock Plus, makes it money by showing ads to users who have consented to see them.  Maximizing that revenue stream is good business, so it makes sense that eyeo has just launched a demand side platform to make it easier for agencies to buy ads that reach its audience.   The company was already selling ads through other DSPs.

Customer engagement platform MessageGears will partner with content localization and translation platform Smartling to streamline email translation and localization for 450+ languages.  The workflow is automated but actual translations are still done by (machine-assisted) humans.
