The only concern I have is that most people still don't know (or don't use) Twitter, Friendfeed, Plurk, etc. So, while i think group based micro-blogging is cool, I dont' think it'll be very useful because of potential adoption problems.If you are going to use group-based messaging, email listservs, message boards and news feeds are easier with the masses.
