See that RSS link at the bottom of your Twitter page? Copy it.
Head over to Yahoo Pipes.
Start a new pipe. Paste in the URL of your RSS as a Fetch pipe.
Add a filter pipe. Put the real names of the people you need to follow most as part of the title, or if you only know their Twitter name, use that in the guid field. Make sure the pipe is set to permit any meeting these conditions.
Connect everything, preview your output.
Publish to the world, and check the public URL of the pipe output. Bingo - you have a Twitter custom group. Here’s an example.

It's designed to be viewed from a mobile browser, but works really well in a desktop browser. Just throw in the names of up to 6 friends (I think, I've never done more than 4) and it gives you a page you can bookmark right away. The usernames are passed in the URL, so it's very flexible.

Is this a twitter issue, or a Yahoo pipes issue?

So this will no longer work.
I wanted to create a custom Twitter group to aggregate all of the NASA mission tweets:

This is my first attempt at Pipes, so this sample isn't finished.
