GOLO Groups presents a multitude of opportunities for anyone interested in connecting with others with similar interests.

Food enthusiasts can swap recipes, pet lovers can find other pet lovers, parents can share the ups and downs of raising teens, and the list goes on.

But it isn’t just about finding a shared topic and swapping comments and e-mails. The groups function opens up a slew of opportunities and can enhance your life in ways you probably have not yet thought of. 

I’m sure many of you are familiar with Yahoo! Groups and may actively participate in several. Well, consider this Yahoo! Groups on steroids.

 
Here are some interesting ways you can enhance your life with GOLO Groups:

  • Teachers can invite parents to join a class group and stay in close contact with their students families.
  • Church organizations and social clubs can share announcements and communicate quickly and easily about Sunday School and other activities.
  • Families can create GOLO Groups to share personal pictures in a closed environment and discuss family issues and plan reunions, and other family get-togethers.  
  • Sports groups can share scores, upload pictures from the game, and share big announcements.
  • Small business owners can create niche client groups and provide very specialized content.
  • Colleges can sign up for GOLO Groups and create alumni networks.

Again, the possibilities are endless.   

So take some time to think about how GOLO Groups can enhance your personal and professional life, and use it to the fullest.

And do feel free to leave other ideas

Enjoy!

Thanks Angela!!

When should we expect to see a tab for groups?

again thanks ... I think it could be pretty cool. Everyone just needs to get use to the change.

I like it also, but it will take some time to get used to. Now I have to go to my profile, my group and most recent just to stay ahead of the game! LOL~~~~I'm sure I will get lost along the way eventually.

Any way we can have a PG rated site, instead of a G rated site? ;)

Yeah - what Vette said!!!!!! :-)

I would prefer an R site for mine! Hee hee!!!

I'm going to start a group for procrastinators tomorrow.

Well then set up blog groups. WRAL.com is the perfect place to meet and greet. This is one of the first places I come to when I am online. I would like to have a book club forum. Also you can put on a person's profile what blog forums they are members of. Discussion are very informal and impersonal. I would actually like to have blog forums where we can actually get to know each other on a more personal level also. Say for example, a depression group forum, you can call my cell phone if you feel suicidal. Just an example. Whadda ya think?

i am forming a group for cyber...or phone bone..not sure which...invites on their way

I'm looking forward to exploring this in more detail when I have time. My first question, though, is how do I 'invite' people to my group? What if I want to keep it open to everyone, but keep the discussion focused?
