Yahoo Groups

Yahoo! Groups 

A Yahoo! Group is similar to a message board, but with added features. A group is more akin to an online “club” where you can gather with others who share your particular interests.

The literally millions of different Yahoo! Groups are each  devoted  to  a  specific  topic  or  interest;  each  group  includes  message boards, photo and file archives, related links, and so on.

You can search for groups of interest from the Yahoo! Groups home page (groups.yahoo.com).
 Once you find a group you like, you have to apply for membership; some groups have open membership, others need to manually approve new members, still others have invitation-only policies.

 You can find out more on the home page for each individual group. Once you join a group, you can read messages in the group’s message archive or elect to receive new messages via e-mail.

 Posting a new message is as simple as clicking a button; messages are threaded by topic line, so related messages are relatively easy to follow.
