Online Groups – eMail Collaboration for Organizations
http://onlinegroups.net/

Online groups take the pain out of group email collaboration by giving a group an email address and an inbox. People can choose to participate via email, the web or both. And there’s a permanent shared record of the work of the group. Email dominates online communication. Everyone has an address and inbox that they use all the time. The web-based collaboration tools have not changed this. If one person switches back to email, the whole team does. So groups usually end up collaborating with email and reply-to-all. Reply-to-all quickly gets painful. Recipients get dropped off. The email gets messy, with no useful archive. Time gets wasted and collaboration grinds to a halt. Online groups work for any organisation where people collaborate in groups, inside or outside the organisation. Use online groups for team collaboration and knowledge-sharing communities. It works like this: Email the group and the group emails the members. Search, read and post messages and files on the web. Your organisation’s public and private groups are all on a customisable site with no ads. All online groups are now free. We will introduce pricing for private groups later in 2011. OnlineGroups.Net runs on the open source web-based mailing list manager GroupServer. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
