Join groups. Now it's easy to become
a member of any group and start interacting
with your fellow members. |
|

Create your own group. Google Groups makes it easy to create a mailing list or discussion forum around a topic you're interested in (see more below). |

|
| Want to start your own online community? Whether you're a lemur aficionado wanting to share your enthusiasm or you want to keep in touch with extended family through a newsletter, just click "Create a new group," and your own discussion forum or mailing list can be up and running in a matter of minutes. Our group management features let you decide your group's: |
|
| • |
|
Privacy Setting Your group is open to the public or viewable only to members. |
|
| • |
|
Category Choose which category your group fits in (e.g., "Arts and Entertainment"), so it's as easy as possible for new members to find. |
|
|
 |
|
| |
| Browse more easily |
|
|
When you search and browse Groups and find a group you're interested in, you're likely to have hundreds of topics to choose from.
Now it's easier to get right to the topics you want. Using the
new message text view, you can read brief samples
from several topics before you open one, so you can browse Groups
more easily and get to specific topics more quickly.
If you prefer, you can also view messages just by title. |

| Communicate more quickly and efficiently |
|
|
| • |
|
Read faster. As you read multi-part discussions, Groups neatens up your screen by hiding duplicate content from old entries. Or click "Show Quoted Text" if you'd like to see all of the content. |
|
| • |
|
Reply faster. Just click "Reply" below a message and a text box appears, not new pages. |
|
| • |
|
Get messages your way. You can choose to receive new messages in your groups via email or just read them on the web. |
|
|
|
|
| |
| Privacy protection |
|
|
| Google Groups cares about the privacy of group members. You can: |
|
| • |
|
"Mask" your email address so spammers can't collect it. |
|
|
| • |
|
Remove your own posted messages if you change your mind about them. |
