How to Create Groups on Twitter

by Carol Cole-Lewis on May 28, 2009

The creation of groups helps you overcome the issue of needing several different Twitter accounts. With groups, you can target your tweets directly to a group. This means you can talk about cars to the auto group, moving services to a real estate group, and personal news to a family and friends group. I’m sure as a small business owner, you can see the power of this!

This “old” post (gosh, how fast are we moving when I say February 15 of this year is “old” when it’s just now the end of May??) from Mashable describes several different ways you can add groups to Twitter. Right now there are only third party solutions available, and many just allow you to group people you’re following (so you can make sense out of the information), not tweet to them as a group.

There’s also TwitterGroups, where you can join groups in an area code, line of business, zip code, and other interest groups.

And, there just-announced PeopleBrowsr – a third party dashboard for social networking services I think looks especially promising for business users. Read a review at Techcrunch.

Take a look at and let me know which service you’ve chosen and how it works for you.
