Buzz Out Loud Lounge: Twitter 3rd Party Applications
Twitter 3rd Party Applications
by karnbach - 12/5/08 3:56 PMI've heard about Twitter for some time, never felt I needed it. The other day my favorite radio station RealRadio.FM talked about it and I was interested.
After registering into the Twitter website I became disenchanted. I was hoping that I'd be able to create groups; family, friends, co-workers... just like an IM application.

Any suggestions?

Programming is useful, I just wish I knew a few more languages, and was better at the ones I do know!
I think that...

Grouping
