Thanks for checking out clivebot! I appreciate the feedback and agree we need to make the instructions clearer going forward.
@clivebot: follow [team_name] — This is equivalent to 'following' someone in Twitter, except in this case, you are following an entire Slack team. Once you follow that Slack team, you will be automatically notified whenever that team starts a live-blog.
@clivebot: go live — You're right that this starts transmitting everything your team writes in the channel. Other teams have to follow your Slack team first (as described above) in order for them to receive your live-blog.
@clivebot: stop — This is the command to end your live-blog. You can also use this same command to mute other teams if they are currently live-blogging.
Clivebot can be added to any channel but can only "go live" from the #live channel you chose when you installed.
Clivebot does allow for two-way inter-team Slacking. After you "go live", say @clivebot invite [team_name] to let another Slack team join the live-blog with you. It's kind of trippy actually.
