CrowdStatus allows you to create live groups of people you follow on Twitter. Josh at Webware has an indepth review of CrowdStatus from earlier this month. I’ve asked for this type of functionality before - the ability to follow different groups of people for different things. For example, on the mobile, I’d like only x and y sent but on the Web client, I’d like everything.

Below is an screenshot example of a crowd created on CrowdStatus for the ReadWriteWeb gang. Here’s another one for the CNET gang. It’d be great if you could grab a crowd widget.

I spoke with creator Darrent Stuart who shared two major updates for the application launched yesterday. The first one is to use CrowdStatus as your Twitter application. Rather than going to Twitter, you can send updates inside of CrowdStatus. To set up the updates, add your Twitter login info to your account.

The other update is the ability to create crowds of protected followers. By providing CrowdStatus with your Twitter credentials, CrowdStatus can create crowds of people you follow that are not public.

If you’ve created a crowd, post a link in the comments - would be interesting to see a variety of crowds.
