The firm has launched a trial of Communities, a new feature allowing members to tweet directly to a group instead of to all their followers. The community spaces allows Only other members in the same Community will be able to reply and join the conversation, but posts will remain publicly visible, and anyone can quote or report tweets as usual. The firm said the trial will help it to develop ways of identifying potentially problematic Community groups that people could attempt to create in future and now it is testing the idea with limited subject matters initially, such as dogs, weather, trainers, skincare and astrology. Is twitter trying to copy the Facebook idea of groups ?
