 If you have a club, team or any type of group that you need to communicate with - consider creating a Google Group.
Google Groups allows you to manage and archive the mailing
list for your group. You can share files, create shared webpages
within your group, and archive posts. Group members can create profiles
including a photo and quote. Group administrators can customize the
look of the group site and members can read posts online or sign up for
email notification. Here are some other ways you can use Google Groups:
- Organize meetings, conferences or social events among a private list of group members
- Collaborate on projects or presentations using customizable wiki pages and file storage sections
- Find people with similar hobbies, interests or backgrounds
- Learn more about topics of interest such as sports, health or philosophy
- Stay in touch with old classmates, coworkers and friends
To get started just follow these steps:
- Click the "Create a group..." button on the Google Groups
homepage http://groups.google.com. If you're not already signed in to your Google Account, sign
in, name your group, and fill out the other required information.
- Enter the email addresses of the people you'd like to invite to
your group. If you'd prefer to directly add your members, click the
"Add members directly" link. (Copying and pasting an existing list of
email addresses into this form is one easy way of populating your
group.)
- Write an invitation or welcome message, and select an email subscription option for your members if you're directly adding them.
- Click the "Invite members" or "Add members" button. Google will send notifications or invitations to your group members.
 ![]() There are two ways to submit a post to your group:
1. Visit the homepage and click the + new post button in the colored Discussions bar on the right side of the page. 2. You can also send an email to
your
group's email address. The subject line of the email will be the title
of the post, and the body of the email will be the content of the
post. Remember: You can reply to anyone's post on the discussion page
or by email. Many Google Groups activities don't require you to have a Google
Account, while many others do.
Activities that don't require a Google Account:
- Reading posts in public groups
- Searching for groups, posts, or authors
- Posting to groups via email if they are unrestricted or you're already a member
- Joining a public Google Group via email
