Even better than Buzzable – Tweetizen is quicker, easier and almost dumb-proof, no need to create a new account, no need for an invitation – just login using your own twitter account and create a group in less than a minute!

Share the group with the world – and even embed it on your own website!

[...] The A round should help Yammer make more inroads into companies big and small. Yammer is an enterprise version of Twitter that helps people in companies keep up with what everyone else is doing. It works especially well with far-flung employees (we use it every day at TechCrunch). But many competitors have already sprung up, including Present.ly and WizeHive. And Twitter itself could easily move into the enterprise market simply by launching a groups feature, as it has done in Japan. [...]

Picture this; you and thousands of others are watching the season finale of Lost. Until now there was no way to discuss with people watching the show at the same time. However with Buzzable, you can buzz into the Lost group and receive notifications from the Lost group in real time on your phone.
It’s micro-bloggiing for groups.

It looks like the groups themselves are powered by twitter and that twicco just helps you find them. You simply “follow” the group and then you can post by writing a message like, “@groupname my posting here”

interesting they are using groups in the same way you had rooms in a forum and the ssame that friendfeed has rooms. what i am looking for – and maybe they will not do this – is provide a means to aggregate tweets and them publish out as a content proposition – dailytwitter.com – a site in the making is trying to do this – by providing local country newspapers of tweets aggregate around a specific theme.

For creating this service is very simple.

1) Find category that you interested in.
Those categories are including lifestyle, hobbies, regional location, people, … etc.
2) Get new twitter account for creating twicco community.
3 and 4) Enter twitter account for community and authenticate with your twitter account.
5) Inform your community to the world!

Currently, there are some kind of approvement process between 2 and 3.

This is a nice feature. It is not that difficult to implement using some available open source solutions.

I think that many may be looking at this kind of grouping/streaming service the wrong way. With new services we tend to imitate the leader as well as existing scenarios; so we have the basic idea of groups being added to a new type of service. I think that mini blog/twitter like services have close similarities to the media and entertainment industry.
