    @klbeasley @jplaman Have you tried this with classes yet? Looks a good way to involve students in discussion http://t.co/1Hln1jQl GroupTweet enables 2 to 100,000+ contributors to tweet from the same account. No longer is the burden of content creation on one person's shoulders. Contributors' names can be hidden or displayed at the beginning or end of each Tweet. Whether you have a small group powering a company account or thousands of people powering a group account, you can leverage the power of the crowd with GroupTweet!
