Codetown ::: a software developer's community
There's a new social network called Menshn. You may have heard of co-founder Louise Mensch, former member of British parliament. Her business partner is Luke Bozier, also the founder of Municipo.
The idea behind Menshn is that it gives users a place to post short ideas (like Twitter) but in rooms. Rooms are Menshn's metaphor to group conversations together in a much more obvious way than Twitter's hashtags.
I started a conversation in a room I named Futureweb. You can take a look and join in if you like. https://menshn.com/chat/futureweb
