Awesome.. Sounds like you are starting up a new idea. However multiple people are interested in a lot of different things. Maybe we still need one place to manage it, so you don't have to go to multiple sites. Like Ning? Something involved with RSS, or Similar to Facebook without random news status updates? @Eric..

Websites like http://www.tweetworks.com which blurs the line between user community and Twitter may change that in the next few years. Right now specific online communities offer people the opportunity to talk about and interact with others who are JUST interested in their specific interests without all the confusion and multiple conversations strings that FB & Twitter currently bring. Personally Twitter & FB offer more but if I was really passionate about something like LEGOs, for instance, I wouldn't use either of these sites as much as I would use http://www.lugnet.com because Lugnet offers a community specifically built around LEGO enthusiasts, you don't join if you aren't passionate about LEGOs. FB & Twitter don't have that level of community passion...at least not yet.

I selected More. Also, I liked this question in this post: "I asked the question, will branded online or topic-specific online communities suffer because of the popularity of general communities such as Twitter and Facebook? " I agree that Twitter & FB have allowed people to participate interact via the internet. Which allows businesses to expand their market and not have them in a central location. Twitter & Facebook are so essential to business now. It is becoming essential the point that Twitter & Facebook are hard to read. It is hard to go through all the tweets & Facebook new updates to find what you want. What Twitter needs to do is develop a new way to organize tweets. The development of the organization should not be from a 3rd party app, search engine or trends. Twitter & Facebook needs to find a way directly target a market and directly communicate with them, just as if someone walked through the door at the business. Facebook is way ahead of Twitter in this aspect because of the groups and fan pages. The corporate internal question for Twitter & Facebook is: If we develop this new organization to tweets, new feeds, etc, does this new development really fit into our company's Mission and Goals? Right now the end user has developed their own mental filter when reading Twitter & Facebook. I think it would be a lot more effective for businesses and easier for the end user if Twitter/Facebook had it a little more organized.
