    I can’t believe all public entities didn’t jump on ASAP. It just makes so much sense.

    I wish, and that would also give another push to RSS feeds which are builtin, to follow people without having an account.

      Every company should do it. Have their own instance, have a main corporate account, one for each of their brands, and availability of for staff to have accounts there.
