Skype users have started receiving emails about GroupMe, which is the “newest member of the Skype family.” As you may know, Skype acquired the popular group messaging service in August for $85 million, which is not that bad for a 16-month old company.
GroupMe provides users with an easy way to chat with people and groups while on the go. The application is available across many popular smartphone platforms, including Android, BlackBerry, iOS and Windows Phone. Heck, it can even work via SMS, since every GroupMe user gets a special phone number to use for messaging only.
Starting a conversation is pretty straightforward – create a new group, add a few people and… go! While in a chat, you can also share images with other group members, share location and see where your buddies are on a map. It’s pretty neat, and it’s free to download – visit GroupMe’s website, select the phone/platform you use and start chatting today.

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.
