Twitter Groups – Power at your Fingertips…
Most people do not realise that one of the most powerful social networking speed techniques, is right at their fingertips. It is called Groups, and it is your filing cabinet for online interaction.
Placing your contacts in groups allows you quick access to who you want – when you want it. Simply the act of grouping people together, creates a sub-niche inside your social network, that all share a common denominator.

The great thing is, anyone contact can be added to any number of your own groups, as any one person has many different interests. Just this process alone allows you to quickly build your social network of friends with common interests.
Grouping your Twitter buddies allows you to keep track of the people that you really want to listen to. Maybe they are people who have the same view, or maybe they are people who have an opposing view and keep your mind and thinking fresh. Twitter Groups can help you understand if your thinking is on track, or help you if you lose your way. Consolidating your own little team of experts into a logically named Twitter Group, will increase your participation rate and knowledge!
Twitter Groups also allow you to watch what other people are doing from a far. Grouping all your friends together allows you to build your social network of friend’s much quicker than you could do it yourself.
However, the most powerful use of Twitter Groups, is when you grouped together people who interest you, or people that you can learn from. Building the structure of knowledge throughout the world is one of the best tools any builder can have.

Nice post. I can see how this would help people who don’t want to read ALL tweets they receive. But I do. Seems to me that grouping would just add another pane to TweetDeck, and I already use all four! ???

Yep, I’m also using tweetdeck! Awesome application for Twitter.
How do you group your ‘groups’ Glenn?

Great timing! I was just becoming overwhelmed by the tweets (lots of new followers lately). I will be following your advice. I love to read the funny tweets, the news tweets, and the helpful tweets, and lumping them together by category will help me get to the target tweets faster. Thanks. (webvixn)
