Can brands finally break in to your texts?
Wednesday April 06th 2011Let’s say you and your friends are among the 1.8 million people in this country who watch the MTV reality series America’s Best Dance Crew. And let’s say that during the show, you share your thoughts with one another through a group text-messaging application.

Wouldn’t it be great if, just maybe, your group was given the chance to text with a dancer directly? That, at least, is the idea behind Featured Groups, a new service launched today by group messaging and conference call service GroupMe.
