But they all shy away from implementing features that worked, from other services. Threaded Comments – one of the largest feature missing out on Twitter was the ability to actually respond to someone.

The point is that consumers now have a more potent aggregate power: someone with a problem can now reach others with the same problem faster, build a community around this shared problem easily, and mobilize lots of people behind the common cause more efficiently. Not just being talked about but be an active voice in the community.
