Earlier today I found a 3rd-party site called Twitter Groups that does allow one to set import all your Twitter contacts & set up groups to whom you wish to tweet:
http://jazzychad.net/twgroups
However, it appears you are required to post your tweet from that site. Still, it gets at what folks are talking about needing in some cases above...

Thanks for looking out for Twitter spam, however, I'm concerned about the Follower/Following ratio idea.
I've been helping several groups within Dell to get on Twitter. Since it's not just one Twitter for all of Dell, I felt it was important to have a way folks could see there were several Dell "properties" on Twitter. Hence, I set each one up so that it follows only other Dell Twitter properties as well as the Twitter account of the individual who's responsible for maintaining that property. I had suggested to Biz that if there could be a way to have "featured followers" separated out from the dozens or hundreds (or thousands) of followers one may have, then I could simply cross-reference all our Dell Twitters with that feature. Since such a feature has not been forthcoming, the only option I have is to have each Dell Twitter follow only a handful of other Dell Twitter properties while any given property may have dozens or hundreds of followers.
So, until & unless a "featured followers" system is set up in Twitter, the Follower/Following ratio idea for ferreting out spammers could mess us up.
Thanks again for your thoughts and efforts to keep us safe on Twitter!
