Twitter Looks Into Facebook Groups-like Feature Called Communities

Communities is a Facebook groups-like feature that will allow Twitter users to come together based on their interests. “We’re working to create a product experience that makes it easier for people to form, discover, and participate in conversations that are more targeted to the relevant communities or geographies they’re interested in,” Twitter wrote in a slide.

The company described the feature as an extension of its work around topics, which lets users follow accounts and tweets based on their interests. Twitter Product Lead Kayvon Beykpour said that communities would also be able to set and enforce their own rules “above and beyond our terms of service.”
