Interesting to use Slack chats for that. I have the feeling that in Europe WhatsApp groups are way more popular (and easier to use because the chance is high they already use WhatsApp).

Yeah... we debated this a bit in some of our groups. But most of us already had Slack running for work at this point. Ultimately it's the same thing as ICQ / AIM / IRC / Skype / you name it... literally all the same functionality from our perspective. Came down to just "What can we use that we like and that doesn't require us to have to install / monitor another blinking light on our computers?"

People should use whatever they are most comfortable with.

so that makes Slack ok to start using it outside of business?
