Add Support for Nested Groups
would be nice to be able to nest groups in order to get a timeline for a set of groups or one individual group.
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Yes, currently we don't have support for this, and it complicates things a lot in terms of presentation, but if lots ask for it will take a more serious look at it.

Inappropriate?Given the emergence of Lists we wont be adding this to our own implementation of Groups since we expect user interest in Nambu Groups to disappear once we had proper support for Lists.
The company thinks
this is one of the best points

Inappropriate?please rethink this. Groups and Lists while similar function differently for me. I break down my followers into groups so that I can easily scan types of info. This info and catagorization is only for me and not public. I have a few public lists I'm willing to share but I wouldn't want to share all my groups AND I don't want to turn my nambu groups into private lists. Also there's no nested listing (yet?)in twitter. A nested group would allow something like media-blogs, media-radio, media-tv etc. We could scan all our media tweets or just the media-blogs tweets. A great organizational addition IMHO. AND remember that twitter only allows 20 groups. I don't believe nambu has a limitation on groups. Please don't limit the ways we can organize our flow of information! The more this grows the more ways to organize we're going to need.
I’m anxious

Well, to be clear we will not be removing Groups for exactly the reasons you outline. I still want them and others like you do too so they are not going anywhere. Groups != Lists whatever the bloggers might be saying to the contrary. And you are correct, we place no limitations on Groups, either the number you can have or their size.
Nested Groups are interesting, but we have to weigh work with the return. Not many users will use Groups anymore; most will switch to private lists so that they can be used in other Twitter clients on other platforms. I will think about it some more, and so I guess it is back under consideration. The example use case you give is a good one.
