One of the persistent complaints about Twitter is that it doesn’t offer any sort of “group” functionality: messages from everyone you follow come in as a big heap, and anything you say goes to all of your followers. GroupTweet provides a solution for the second half of this complaint, by layering distribution groups on top of Twitter.
Using GroupTweet is simple: create a separate account on Twitter for your group, and have everyone in your group follow that account. Then whenever that account gets a direct message, it pushes it back out for everyone to see. I expect to be using this to share statuses among some distributed teams I’m working with.
