  • Google Reader is way more efficient for reading tweets than Twitter.com, I like it even better than TweetDeck and Seeesmic. I don't use groups for Twitter, but one has 2 ways to "group" in Google Reader - folders and tags... I group all Twitter subscriptions in one folder in Google Reader called "Twitter", automatically sorted by Twitter account, then I review them by account in a "condensed" one-line view.
