I asked the creator, @1datarecovery, the same thing. This is what he said verbatim: the link that you add on your group page gets seen by everyone that visits your group. And, Google. The tweet only goes to your followers. No matter, though. You can post to the group's wall, which gets picked up by Google FriendFeed and you can follow new members. It would be nice, though, if group members could get the tweet when new members join at least. What I do is visit the group every week or two and follow the new members. I've met some really cool people through the #greenthumbs group. Cheers! Great question, Gina. I asked the creator, @1datarecovery, the same thing.

If I click on Tweet from the specific group page, does it send my tweet just to my followers or everyone in the entire group, or just those who visit the group page? Thanks for the help! Phoebe,

Have you done much to promote it? When I first started #greenthumbs I tweeted about it in the public stream, then sent a DM about it to everyone who was already following me, blogged about it - here and on my own blog - and made a point of connecting with everyone who took the time to join the group, whether I decided to follow them or not. I also posted links to group members' blogs and articles relevant to the group, using the Share Links feature, which would automatically generate a tweet that would include a link back to the group! In other words, you get out of it what you put into it. To me, the power of Twitter Groups is that you can connect with people in your niche much more easily than by using Twitter Search. In fact, really cool peeps are joining my gardening group who never even showed up when I did a search for other gardeners to follow. The other great feature is that when new peeps join the group Twitter Groups automatically generates a tweet that they can send out to everyone who follows them, which expands the group's reach even further. Get it? Cool. Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions. Thanks! Phoebe (aka @bizlady08) Hey @chetstudios,

I asked the TwitterGroups creator @1datarecovery a similar question. He said that anything posted to the group will be seen by anyone who actually goes to the group and that anything posted by group members in their own timelines/streams (not sure what the official word is for that) can be read only by the peeps who follow that person. What I do (twice now) is go to the group, check out each new member's profile & blog and if they seem like they add value to my stream - or vice versa - I follow them. If and when they follow me, I follow up with a personal Thanks for Following DM. (I tried the automated TweetLater.com messages and decided I'd rather do it manually rather than have to go back an Unfollow spammers.) It adds maybe 1-2 hours to my week, but I am assured of making quality connections by starting a personal conversation. And to me, building those kinds of relationships is what social media are all about. Hope that helps! Phoebe (aka @bizlady08) Hi Mark,

I like the fact that you can auto follow b/c why wouldn't you follow someone in your group. The key then is to become the expert there and create a tribe.
