Wow a lot of twitter guys here. I wished you could a) Import an opml file with Twitter accounts. b) Create groups of Twitter friends you can message like @group1

If someone knows of any webapp that implements a) please let me know :D

And I'll add mine: http://twitter.com/abarrera

Chris Brogan tried the group idea with "Twitter Packs"... he implemented it quickly and dirtily using a Wiki though, so editing it runs into some obvious pitfalls (e.g., contention when a page is edited by more than one person)...

I toyed with the idea of implementing it as an actual standalone service without the wiki... but I have too many other "side projects" right now! :)

Though I think that their potential as messaging glue has yet to be realized-- payloads would be a start, as Winer has suggested, incorporating Yahoo Pipes, Twitterfeed, etc, and make twitter the social messaging bus for the entire web.

My hypothesis is that Obvious is working on this stuff (since it's so, well, ovbious!), but isn't ready to release it until they get their infrastructure stuff sorted out, sign up partners, etc.
