Group messaging service Groupme, which we’ve already covered in the past (heck we even spent few minutes interviewing co-founder Jared Hecht), has been updated and released in 90 countries. In addition, Windows Phone 7 is now also on the list of supported platforms, allowing Microsoft’s early adopters to join the conversation.
In addition, version 3.0 also brings support for “Questions,” which are envisioned to spark the conversation, help users plan their night out, find out what’s good in some restaurant, and so on. You can either direct a question to a few people or an entire group, or even post it to Twitter and Facebook and let the world respond. At the moment, questions are supported on the iPhone, Android, and Groupme’s website, with more platforms coming soon.
Direct Messaging is also included in this release, for those instances when you don’t need to say it to the whole group. Moreover, thanks to the web chat support, now you will be able to chat with your group from a comfort of your PC or Mac, relying on the full keyboard to keep the conversation rolling faster.
Like it? Search for Groupme in the app store you use or visit Groupme’s website and take it from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
