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!

Angela..with all the bad things in the world there are good things. Could you all please find some good news, report it and put it in the "happy section" of WRAL...ah hah...you don't have one...you need to MAKE ONE...lol...I need to laugh. Reading this news has depressed me. 7 year old raped, man kills mom, wife and himself, etc...please do us all this favor. Show that there is some goodness in this world.

Angela...not sure about this. Seems to encourage more segregation, and less transparency, and reminds me of when we passed notes in Jr. High, I will try to keep an open mind.

Jack, actually, I think this could be good. I have created a group for the self-employed. I don't want to 'segregate' anyone from the group and all are welcome to participate. But I think it will be nice to get a discussion of those experiencing the same thing to bounce ideas off and brainstorm. Perhaps there is someone out there who is contemplating starting their own company. They could come and ask questions and get some (hopefully good) advice.

I think it has the potential to be a very good thing!

groups?

I like it! :)

Where can I see a list of all the groups?

How do you put a blog on a group?

If you are in a group with the email feature, and use yahoo for your email, you should check your spam box for the emails. I didn't realize I had any email from the group, as they were all ending up in the spam. Just an FYI.

How will I know if I'm accepted in the group I applied to be in?

this a verry good site
