An awesome feature of Tweetdeck is the ability to create groups of users within the user interface so you can better track those you follow. You can name them however you like, and group follows in any form or fashion. It really is a great way to ease the efforts of keeping up with all those who fly through your feed.
One part of this process, however, is the actual naming of the groups you are creating. Group naming is tedious, difficult, and sometimes exhausting work. No one should have to do it alone.
That is why I am proud to announce the newest contest on Twitter, “Name Sarah’s Groups”. Oh yeah baby!
Over the next seven days we will all submit creative names for Sarah Robinson (@sarahrobinson) to use for her tweetdeck groups. Yes, this is your chance to change someone’s life, make a difference in the world, cure cancer… okay, maybe not that last one. Well, maybe not any of those, but hey it should be fun anyway.
So here is how it’s going to work. Drop a comment into the bottom of this post with up to three group name suggestions and the type of people that would fit into each group. Next Friday Sarah will announce the winners.
If you win you will be showered with an amazing prize… bragging rights! Okay, so maybe it’s the economy’s fault (yeah thats it) but we can’t really offer anything other than the comfort of knowing your creativity has made someone else’s life a little easier.
Take a minute, turn your creative cranium on, and enter to win this amazing prize. You know you want to.
Oh, I know I don’t need to say it, but lets keep it clean people. Creative, but clean.
Here are a few examples/ideas to get you rolling…
Group Name – Twunkies
Members – Those who tweet WAY too much and need to be set aside so other users can get a chance to be heard.
Group Name – WTF
Members – Those who tweet random crap that never really makes sense, but have a level of entertainment worth keeping around.
Group Name – Stiffs
Members – Those who only tweet about work. Work work work. That’s all they are about.
Get the gist of it? Okay, your turn! Good luck!

1[...] 2) Before I spoke, I was doing my twitter thing and tweeted out something about my Tweetdeck frustrations around creating Groups. One of my followers, Levi Wardell @trontastic, piped up and asked if the twitterverse could name my groups. I laughed and said he could be in charge of it – NEVER IMAGINING HE WOULD ACTUALLY DO IT. The next thing I know, he’d put together an entire contest and invited all of twitter to compete to name my tweetdeck groups. You can see the trouble he took on my behalf here: http://serpable.com/2009/01/name-saras-groups/ [...]

2Hmm, OK, just for the heck of it, here is my list.
Twitter Groups
T’n'A – Twits ‘n’ Arses
Members: Those who tweet nonsense or bad attempts at humor
consistently. Includes those who flame or argue all the
time as well as spammers.
The TA – Future members of Twitter Anonymous
Those who tweet all day everyday about everything,
obviously addicted to or obsessed with twitter.
Valleys
Those who are like, all enamoured with twitter
and,like, just think it and themselves just all so
beautiful and wonderful, you know, like aren’t tweets
just the sickest thing you ever saw?
Cavers
Those who use a series of unintelligible abbreviations
and vowel free wrds 2 mk ppl understd wht’s said w/out
having 2 do >1 tweet. Their tweets resemble
hieroglyphics or cave writings, especially to others who
may not use msm or other texting instead of email,
snail mail or the phone for communications.
Jacks & Jills
Those who are working to climb up the beanstalk or hill of success to get
to the wonderful land, only to find themselves in the
giant’s home or tumbling down the slippery slope in peril instead of in the land of milk and
honey promised by their latest guru.
Gurus
Leaders in your niche or interest area whose ideas you,
the reader, follow and with which you agree.
Gurots
High earners in your niche or interest area whose ideas
or actions run afoul of yours. They are often those who
yell the loudest and who take every opportunity to
disparage the Guru’s.
Admen
Those who seem to only advertise their affiliate sites,
obviously oblivious to the care and concerns expressed
by other – (I wanted to call these the “MFs” because
they mind-F’d everyone, whenever their was a lull in
the conversation.
Tweetie Pies
Those who tweet just right and are interesting, i.e.
the wanted ones.
Doldrones
Those whose tweet are as dull as (fill in your favorite
cussword here). They put me to sleep.
That is my suggested list. I shall now take my tongue from my cheek and tweet off into the night. This was a fun contest. Peace and Love to you and yours. Ellen L “jemyl” Johnson

Twizzllers- Those who always have some sort of survey or game to play
Twittnets- Those who are always trying to promote some sort of network marketing schemes.
Twittdoms- Those who make me fall asleep with their boring posts.
Twittstars- Those who have interesting things to say all of the time.
