Groups on Twitter/Pownce/Ping etc would be the killer feature for me!

so it seems to me that Ping.fm is a pretty useful thing, but just needs
a fair bit more subtlety? i.e. different distribution lists? or is that already
available?

Alun has a good point, anyone here remembers the good ole days of "the
free
for all links" ? (see
http://mpelembe.blogware.com/blog/_archives/2005/12/19/3925166.html )
In my experience, different social networks attract different types of
people. My friends on hi5 are totally different to those on Myspace and
Facebook. My followers on twitter do not share my interests on Digg. For
this reason I make an effort to address friends in the appropriate
context
rather than blast off the same post to everyone.
