One such tool called <a title=\"Slack Chats\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chitchats.co\/\">Slack Chats<\/a> allows you to search for public groups.

The noise is low now compared to LinkedIn, which has over 4,000,000 groups. Currently, Slack has only 200,000. It would be a great way to get the attention of early adopters and influencers who are flocking to Slack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To start a group, <a title=\"Get Started with Slack\" href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/create#email\">sign-up with Slack.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For example, if you wanted to start a group on Gardening, you would call your group gardening.slack.com.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read through <a title=\"Getting Started with Slack\" href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/getting-started\">Slack&#8217;s getting started guide<\/a> to familiarize yourself with the app.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feeding_Your_Group_RSS_to_Slack\"><\/span>Feeding Your Group: RSS to Slack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now that we&#8217;ve introduced the &#8220;why&#8221; let&#8217;s move on to the &#8220;how&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Just like with any social channel, you have to engage your community.
