Twitter Takes On Facebook Groups and Reddit With Invite-only Communities
https://www.theverge.comTwitter is launching Communities, its rival to Facebook Groups and Reddit, for tweeting with others who share specific interests.
Starting Wednesday, Twitter users can be invited to an initial batch of Communities that include #AstroTwitter, #DogTwitter, #SkincareTwitter, and #SoleFood (a group for sneaker enthusiasts). Once people join a Community, they can tweet directly to other members rather than to just their followers. Only members of a Community can like or reply to tweets sent by other members.
Communities are just invite-only for now.
