A subset of tech community in Japan has established a strange form of "broadcast" yourself in Slack, which is called "minute-updates" channels, that is, each team member creates a channel owned by oneself, posts short updates (or tweets, if you like to think in that way) there, and lets others chime-in freely. So it's a channel for monologues out loud. This clearly doesn't scale for large orgs, but any communication method doesn't anyway. One clear advantage of this is the low entry barrier: You don't have to worry about interrupting and shutting down the ongoing conversion unintentionally, or spamming others. Although this barrier lowering seems to be helping a lot in the highly peer-aware environments like Japan. I'm not sure how effective this is in a different context. So take this as a grain of salt.
