Hello!

It would nice, if we could chat to all our friends, or to all people from our contry, with only one click!

I may be wrong here, but any uncontrolled group messaging system, will encourage spam.

There is a lot of merit in chatting to all of your friends in one shot, but only in a situation, where I have accepted being a friend for another person. Similar to adding a friend in Yahoo messaging system. There should be explicit reciprocal agreement. I don't want to see messages from someone who thinks that he/she is my friend and I don't think the same way.

Messaging to all people from your country does not appeal to me. It is a matter of changing your flag and sending unwanted political statements to all people from a specific country. Now we are entering unpleasant ground.

Unpleasant ground, to say the least. If/Until we have a mechanism in place that allows people to opt-in before being placed on a spammable list like this, it would not be safe to do this.

I have to agree.. I don't want everybody to be able to add me to a list of people and message us all at one time.
