Import from Twitter.

I gather the idea for Buzzable is for Twitter users to carry on a conversation within the Buzzable interface with other Twitter users. We're exposing non-Buzzable users to the fact that a conversation is happening, which is good for Buzzable. But by confining the posted activity to Buzzable posts (not including RSS imports), the average group page will show very little activity until Buzzable gains traction.

The behavior I was expecting out of Buzzable is to have a feed of all group members' latest Tweets. I don't necessarily care if there's a threaded conversation in the mix (though it would be great if Buzzable identified them), but what I'd like is a single view of a subset of Twitter users, without having to create a new Twitter account just to follow a specific group of users.

If Buzzable lets us import any and all mentions of a keyword across Twitter, or import all activity from a specific social network account, why is it not the default (or at least an option) to track the latest Tweets of members? I'm certain everyone who joins a 'sports' Buzzable group or a regional Buzzable group will have commonalities, even if they're not limiting their activity to that topic.

This is the most compelling feature of Ginx, and Buzzable is almost there (without requiring invites and with a sharper interface). Here's the Ginx 'Hawaii' group:

But to do that, I had to create a new Twitter account to follow specific users. Buzzable more reasonably lets anyone join. Potential for spam? Sure. But a much better experience overall.
