Groups in Twitter

Submitted by vadim on Sat, 07/23/2011 - 19:23

There is no secret that in Facebook we have very useful feature to post messages in a group. And so many interesting discussions have been started there. But many of us often use Twitter, and would like to have same functionality there.

The solution is really simple.

Group

  • Group is an twitter account.
  • User can follow group or add it into a list.

Entry into a group

  • To add new user into a group, group should follow that user.
  • Group can automatically follow back people who follow it.

Group topics

  • Group should have topics which are hash tags.

Posting message into a group

  • User create message which should contain any topic of group.
  • Group automatically retweets it's members messages which contain topic.
  • Group retweets replies on it's members group posts.

Benefits

  • Group aggregates all messages and dialogs on given topics of it's members.
  • Group can be followed by, cause It's not a hash tag.

Hope to have some free time to implement this. Please, give your feedback.
