Is it okay to sponsor/invite multipe friends to the US at different times?
I will be inviting multiple friends to the US who are trying to get a tourist visa from the embassy in their country colombia who are each coming at different times of the month. Will the embassy frown at this and will the embassy notify them that I have invited other people before?

The embassy does not care whom you invite. what are you providing as basis of your invitation? It will be up to each individual person to provide evidence that they have no immigrant intent and sufficient ties to Colombia to ensure their return. That and only that will determine whether their request for a visitor's visa is issued.
