For many, Twitter is a great way to find out what’s happening in the world but not the first place they would turn to drive a meaningful discussion with a group of colleagues or customers. Nestivity hopes to change this by creating a tool which allows Twitter users (and that includes companies) to drive meaningful discussions through Twitter.

The site officially launched today, and it’s free for Twitter users to sign up. The company offers a freemium pay model by charging customers for adding multiple community moderators — provided you only have one moderator, it remains free (for now).

Naturally I’m trying it out and you can help figure out how it works by joining in on the conversation I’ve just set up in my very own “nest”:

What’s the role of IT in creating great customer experiences? Check out the discussion and add your POV and help drive the discussion and you could see your POV included in the new research to be published at the upcoming CIO Forum in May.

And “Chief Digital Officer: real or imagined?” — add your POV to this discussion to contribute toward the research I’m doing on this to be published at our CMO/CIO Forum in the fall.

Can Twitter support vibrant discussions? Does Nestivity add to the ability to make Twitter a useful engagement environment? Share your thoughts on this post here.
