I was applying "normal" Twitter behavior to GroupTweet where the rules are different, hence the value of your service. Thanks much for the guidance! Danny Aaron, it does make sense.

If you made the status updates private for the group account, then all group members' follow requests must be manually approved. Once a person is following the "seatechstartups" group, they can send a message to everyone in that group by direct texting the group (e.g. 'D seatechstartups Hello everyone!'). Since it is a direct text, their personal followers won't see the message unless they are part of the group. I just ran a test with my group account and everything is running fine. Ali,

But this then publishes my tweets to my tweeter account 'thedevguy' to the everyone else, not just my direct messages to 'seatechstartups'. I've emailed you separately but haven't gotten a reply yet. -Ali Aaron I set up a group tweeter account ’seatechstartups’ and it seems that I have to manually follow the followers to allow them to direct message.

That isn't my understanding of the Twitter engine but I am frequently wrong. Are direct messages seen by followers? That isn’t my understanding of the Twitter engine but I am frequently wrong.
