Twitter launching feature competing with FB Groups
Twitter has launched a feature – Communities – that will be a competitor to Facebook Groups offering users to tweet with people who have the same interests.
Users who join a Community, can Tweet directly to that group. Only members in the same Community are able to reply and join the conversation. However, Community pages and timelines are publicly available so anyone can read, Quote Tweet, and report Community Tweets.
With Communities, moderators pick the focus, create the Community rules, and invite people. Moderators set the Community rules and can also invite others to moderate their space.
“Right now, Community creation is limited but in the coming months, we’ll allow more people to create Communities so everyone can talk about their thing, whatever it is. Some of the initial Communities we’re testing surround popular conversations on Twitter. Examples include dogs, weather, sneakers, skincare, and astrology, with many more to come, reflecting more of the thriving and niche discussions on Twitter.”
Anyone globally can be invited to join a Community via Direct Messages.
