We caught up with Erin Bury, Community Manager of Sprouter to help explain what they are all about. Sprouter, an online service designed to help entrepreneurs get more out of their interactions with others without needing to deal with all the noise people deal with on Twitter.  Using a similar concept of twitter but adding in a few community building features around it as well.  Checkout the Interview below.

Sprouter is not that different from a lot of the new social media sites being released today.  Having a look and feel a little bit like Twitter however you get the ability to create topics and filters to help you get more out of the post.  Sprouter also gives you the ability to create events within the community.  Entrepreneurs on Sprouter can get very targeted and find people who are very active in their perspective fields of business.

Sprouter is a niche network and not everyone will find what they may be looking for.  However, this would be a great community to become part of and would get great value from if you decide to participate.  Currently they don't have Twitter integration which I think is a good idea, because this will prevent unwanted noise to enter into the community and keep it focused.  I believe it they partner with a service like TweetDeck, Hootsuite, or the like this could be a very valuable community. That is if people respect what Sprouter is trying to create and don't just blast out everything to this community.
