    Mobile Chat Groups for Whatsapp and Telegram▲41

    I don't know how many of you remember SlackChats - a place to find Slack groups, which is now known as http://www.chitchats.co. I made this after being inspired by that site. A ton of people use Whatsapp and Telegram groups so you may find it useful to have a kind of Yellowpages for groups, to be able to find them online. The idea is to make it easy to find and connect with people that share your interests. Any and all feedback welcome. The link is: http://mobilechatgroups.com/
