About GroupTweet
GroupTweet is a service that works behind the scenes with Twitter to allow users to form groups and communicate within those groups. It enhances the direct message feature already available within Twitter that allows users to send a private message to another user. GroupTweet takes that same direct message and sends it to multiple users.
Example
Malcolm, Zoe, Kaylee and Simon all work together as a team within their company. They are avid Twitter users and want a similar way to broadcast quick messages and updates to everyone on their team. Because these messages may contain confidential information, the team doesn't want them published to their personal Twitter timelines or to any followers who are not part of the team.
So, they create a Twitter account for their group and activate it on GroupTweet. All group members follow that account and the group account follows everyone back. The next time Malcolm (or anyone else on the team) needs to send an update, he sends a direct message to the group account and in a few minutes the entire team receives a tweet and everyone is up-to-date.
