    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Free, keep in touch and meet new friends with similar interests

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Site can be unreliable, advertising, can fill up your in-box

    •• What is a group? •• Well, according to Yahoo it is ‘The easiest way for groups of people to communicate on the internet’. Basically, it is a way of posting messages (or e-mails), photos and files to a group of people with whom you have a common interest, e.g. a website, a hobby, an animal, a celebrity or an illness. •• Why join? •• For starters, it can be fun! You can meet lots of new people with common interests, you can talk to people with the same problems/illness as yourself, you can find personal views on topics that interest you and you can stay in touch with friends and family.

    5 Stars Two's Company. Three's A Grope. 29/05/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Fun, easy to use, meet others online

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be restrictive

    The principle behind a Yahoo Group is fundamentally very simple – an online facility for like-minded individuals to share views and resources. There are many other chat-room and messaging facilities available, but with Yahoo Groups (sometimes known as Gropes) you are provided with a simple to use facility that can be accessed via email, or via the website. Unlike most chat room sites, every message posted is archived so you can come back and read postings as frequently or infrequently as you choose. The experience and usefulness of each Yahoo Group is very dependent on the subject matter ... more

    5 Stars COME AND JOIN IN THE GROPING 13/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Help you contact millions of people, 1,000's of different subjects/categories.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The Chat room can be problematic and some people find it impossible to load.

    I’m damn sure that about 75% of users on Ciao have heard of “Yahoo Groups”, and at the same time, quite a big percentage of them will actually frequent the various “Yahoo Groups” available, or even have one started themselves, so I’ll aim this opinion at the other 25% of users, that are unaware of them. What are “Yahoo Groups”? Surely since you have been using the Internet, you have come across various Forums, Chat rooms, etc or surely you’ve asked yourself something like “Is there anywhere I can voice my opinions on a certain subject ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Stay in touch with old friends, make new friends, learn more about your chosen hobby/interest, easy to set up and use, no spam

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can get lots of mail, get your own mail back

    Yahoogroups is a section of the mighty Yahoo website, which enables you to create or join a “Group” or “Mailing List”. For those not in the know, a Group is a single e-mail address to which subscribers can send e-mails, which will then be delivered to all those who belong to the group. The people in the group may be connected by all manner of things: a common interest in a pop group, TV show, celebrity or hobby (to chat about their interest or share news), residence in a particular area, a family connection or simply a group of friends who wish to stay in touch. There are even groups for ... more

    Advantages Advantages see op

    Disadvantages Disadvantages see op

    Keeping up to date with your group with messages delivered straight to your in-box. That's what Yahoo Groups means to me. Previously known as E-Groups, these were recently taken over and became Yahoo Groups. I'm a member of two Yahoo Groups, one being a general friends group and the other being an exclusive little group called July 2000 brides. The July 2000 brides group came together when we all used the wedding forum at WeddingGuide.co.uk in the run up to our weddings. Someone had the bright idea of starting an Yahoo Group for those of us who were getting married in July. ~~~~ The Changeover ... more
