Don, you misread the quantcast data. you stated “about 39 percent of its 5,000-or-so daily users are considered “addicts” based on Quantcast figures.”

In reality 2 percent of the daily users are considered “addicts”. This 2 percent of users is responsible for driving 39 percent of visits. 100 highly engaged users is very different from almost 2000 highly engaged users.

I disagree – Twitter does not need groups. If they just want to send email and get updates, they should just join a yahoo group. There are plenty of new sites like http://www.bigtent.com that are way better for mom groups. (plus, I already get enough tweets – that last thing I need is more

I joined Twitter Moms this morning and I’ve gained 10 followers or something crazy. So it’s a great place to network and plug your blog.

But, I have a question…

I haven’t used Tweetdeck yet? But can’t Tweetdeck make groups?

And as far as Twitter creating their own groups – that would be different from TwitterMoms because on any Ning network you make a detailed personal page, with location, photos, videos – it’s just like Facebook or MySpace basically – just niched.

But I think TwitterMoms is a fantastic idea and a great place for marketers to find all of those Twitter and blogging addicts in one neat place.

Ning does limit you in many ways. I created a news site with membership, article voting, and a built in points system for users. Ning cant do point systems.

Let me know what you think.

Don, I think it’s great you can step away from huge sites and see the potential in smaller sites and use them to orchestrate your point.

Kudos to TechCrunch for showcasing a group that is predominantly moms. As a mom & twitter user, and member of twittermoms – I applaud you.

Ning groups are popular, due to their great features, ease of use and add-ons or hacks being developed to customize each individual site.

Where similar sites offer “customizable social sites”, their’s are usually are lacking in functionality, design and are 1 dimensional compared to ning. As I have tested & tried many, and have chosen to use ning for several of my social projects, I can honestly say this.

You’ve got your numbers wrong.
Only 2% are addicts.
That 2% makes up for 39% of the visits.

@Jeff. Agreed. Twitter is fun because it *doesn’t* have have all that baggage. Just join Facebook if you want bloat. Keep it simple.

And I note that mumsnet isn’t mentioned in the article.
