Niche Markets: twitter Product Extensions


Remember the easy old days when the only decision to be made when purchasing a tube of Crest or a bottle of Coke was what size container? Now there must be at least a dozen variations of each product to choose from. Well, according to a top-secret intra-office memo from the HQ of twitter, obtained by the corporate espionage arm of spitoutyourgum, twitter is set to branch out into a host of niche markets. Outside of a few exceptions, these more specific social networks will still be limited to the 140 or less characters rule. To ensure my readers are always ahead of the curve, I hereby provide you with a list of some of the more interesting twitter product extensions, so you can be the first in your social network to make use of these soon-to-be essential electronic media.
