About a month ago, Tom Anderson (or Myspace Tom, if you prefer) wrote a post on his new favorite social network, Google+, offering a few bits of advice for Twitter. While many of us enjoy a good Twittering now and again, Anderson pointed out that there are a few simple features Twitter might consider if it wants to boost the overall quality of its user experience. The main thrust being that the social experience of Twitter might be improved were the company to add a "discussion" or chat function that would, in Tom's conception, give the viewer an input box by which to leave a comment and easily discuss tweets without flooding followers' streams with one part of an on-going conversation.Well, Tom might just be interested in a new startup launching today, called Joint, which turns Twitter into a virtual chat room, where users can group chat synchronously in realtime -- and privately discuss any hashtag stream of their choice in realtime -- bringing synchronous realworld-like interaction to social media (namely Twitter).
