‘Social Discussion Platform ‘Branch’ Opens to Public’ – ‘Mashable’

Seth Fiegerman says, “One of the most talked-about new social platforms is finally opening up to the public.

Branch, a website that lets users create discussions around social content, launched out of beta on Monday and will now let anyone with a Twitter account sign up.

Social networks such as Twitter already let users post conversation starters online, of course. But Branch hopes to take this a step further by providing a space for these conversations to continue and grow — or as the company puts it, to provide a “home for dialogues online.”

Branch users can create conversations around tweets and articles by linking to the original URL. They can also flesh out any part of an exchange in a Branch thread, turning it into its own discussion”.
