GroupMe Releases Major Update

Popular group messaging app provider GroupMe has released a major update to their mobile apps and web site. The new features include ask questions, send direct messages, chat from the GroupMe web site, hide your phone number, and worldwide availability.

If you are not familiar with GroupMe, it basically provides distribution lists for messages. You create a group, in which you add your friends and their mobile phone numbers, and then when you send a message to the group, everyone in the group receives the message and can respond to the message.
