Twitter Group Messaging is a short form collaboration tool. Unlike Google Hangout, Twitter does not have the capability of video chatting or voice calling. It is limited to a platform of direct messaging with other users on twitter. It does not restrict you from messaging with only on person however, you can be in a group message with up to 20 other people. It also allows you to collaborate with twitter users that you do not follow or who does not follow you. However, in order to make this possible, the creator of the group message must follow that other person. It cannot be totally random.
Aside from text, group messaging on twitter allows you to send pictures, links, emojis, and other tweets. This is a plus to using group messaging on twitter because it is a platform that does not have to alert you like a regular text message might. You can set your alert settings so that it does not pop up on your home screen, or so that it does, it all depends on a users preference.
You can also add users to an existing group message. So the creator may have created a group message but is not following another person who wants to be included, someone else already in the group message can invite them to join. This allows the twitter collaboration method to expand by not having to “directly” follow a user.
