Twitter’s Developing New Community Tools to Share Tweets with Selected Audiences

Back in February, as part of its Analyst Day presentation, Twitter previewed a new, groups-like option called ‘Communities’, which would enable Twitter users to share their tweets within selected sub-groups of users, as opposed to sharing with everybody. Twitter’s answer to Facebook Groups.

And now – thanks to reverse engineering extraordinaire Jane Manchun Wong – we’ve got a new look at how Twitter is developing its new Communities tools. In addition to this, Wong has also found this new Communities creation page.

As you can see here, the Community page would be joinable (see the ‘Joined’ indicator on the main image), with only members of a community able to share tweets within it. The Page also has ‘Home’ and ‘About’ tabs, with the ‘Home’ tab being a feed of all the tweets that have been shared to this group.
