Forum Segmentation

[Alex Hillman]

I know I've brought this up more than once but I can't help but highlight a new "forum" where people posting messages are given the choice of the context of their post - which also gives the readers some visual context and choice of their own.

TED just launched TED conversations, which looks like it's full of super smart people asking really interesting questions, sharing very big ideas, and guiding fascinating debates. 

Each of these prompts brings distinct value in a style of conversation, something I'd like to see more of in terms of high value to this list.

I know we don't have a solution today, but this is something I hope to see for this list in the future!

Great tip.  I bet a community like TED has a lot of the same issues we face.  Does anyone know any of the moderators that might be willing to talk with us about how they came about with their solution?  

In other news, Tony B. rocked a connection and got me in contact with the project manager for Google Groups and I pitched my forum/mailing list hybrid idea to him.  He loved it and asked if we would be open to being beta testers for some of their new features.  Impossible to know timeline or how that would work out, but it's fun to be part of the conversation.
