So in essence you end up with the #channels being filtered by third parties? How would those third parties get noticed. Would Twitter offer them some kind of sub domain or special alias?

We would have Twitter the API, and Twitter the umbrella network. You might want to promote a sub group into the larger network, or you may not - similar to reddit in a way.

I imagine invite only groups, time-limited groups for concerts/conferences/sporting events, location-locked groups that you dynamically join and leave as you move around.

I may just be describing iMessage or Slack at this point.

I would definitely like the idea of being able to add a private channel whenever I wanted one. Something like #{myusername}-private-{whatever} and then I could approve or add users to the channel
