GroupTweet.com?

Could we use this ?

GroupTweet.com is a new site based on the Twitter API, allowing private groups and sending tweets only to group members.

When you want to send a message to the group, send a message to the group’s Twitter account, and GroupTweet.com will immediately send it back out as a tweet sent from the group account, which all members will receive since they are following that account. This way, private message is received only by approved group members, and not published to public Twitter timelines.

I read about this yesterday. Would it replace the current Twitter account or would this be used for "groups" within the library system?

I'm going to show my ignorance about all things Twitter and admit that I know nothing about it.

What exactly would GroupTweet do for us that e-mail and chat don't?
