By now you've doubtless heard of the many group messaging startups looking to help multiple people keep in touch with each other ?�there's been endless buzz about how these will likely be some of the breakout stars of SXSW. However, most of these companies do far more than just send texts to multiple people: some of them offer location sharing, conference calls, and other features. �Here is a roundup of some of the major services and their feature sets to help you choose which one is best for you, just in time for SXSW. Groupme Groupme is a group texting and conference calling service that originated at the 2010 TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon, and has already received $11.5M in funding. Users can chat with or call multiple people at a time, by setting up a unique phone number that is shared with the members of the group. By texting or calling the number, groups of up to 25 people can share conversations. Users can also share photos with the group online, or through Android or iPhone Apps. Currently, Groupme users send about 1,000,000 text messages and make a few thousand conference calls each day.
