Twicco.jp is a group and community feature for Twitter (currently available only in Japan). In Loic Le Meur’s demo video, you can see it lets users create and follow a group instead of an individual account. Twitter Japan, a joint venture with Digital Garage, was already differentiating itself from the US version with ads in the feeds and therefore a monetization option right from the beginning.
In Twicco, groups are called communities. You can create your own “community” by:
- Pick a category from the directory.
- Create a new Twitter account for your community.
- Send a request addition from the category page.
- Enter your main Twitter account for verification.
The popular community list on the home page includes @iphonefan, @cnet_japan, @toycameras, and @cat_fan.
