GroupMe is group messaging for free

So what is GroupMe and how does it work 

GroupMe is an App allows you to start a conversation with all your friends at the same time. So you can send an SMS and everyone you have added in your group receives it at once. kind of like a big chat room where all your friends can hangout and chat. The App is now avialble in 90 countries and support for over 900 carriers. SMS based chat however is not available outside the US but in-app chat is. The App is available for Android, iPhone, BlackBerry and windows Phone 7. In addition you also have the web option that allows you to start and maintain all your conversations over the web. This is one App that brings a whole new meaning to group texting. The Group-Texting App is totally free to use. You can browse groups and join if you find them interesting. You can also message a GroupMe member that you want to connect with. 

GroupMe also introduces 3.0 and here is what's new

1. Questions: you can ask them to an entire group and just select individuals. You can also ask you questions to your Twitter or Facebook friends. This is an innovative way to start a conversation and keep-up with it.

2. Direct Messaging: because sometimes you want to have a one-on-one with someone. All you need to do is to tap on a GroupMe users Avatar and start a conversation. Currently available only on the iPhone and BlackBerry Apps.

3. Web Chat: available now right on your desktop, you can also use the same on your mobile browser. So if you do not have the App, you can still use GroupMe on the web.
