Web Groups - the links

In my December column in The Oldie I discuss the merits of online groups of like minded souls sharing information and experiences.  There wasn't room in the magazine to give all the links I would have liked to, so here are a few crucial ones:

Yahoo Groups   This is the main Yahoo Groups page, where you need to start if you are a beginner.

Google Groups   This is the equivalent service offered by Google - very similar in style, and just as good. Some say it is easier to search and find the one you want.This is the equivalent service offered by Google - very similar in style, and just as good.

MSN Groups   This is the Microsoft version - just as good if you can find the sort of group you are after.

Learn Italian Group   This is the group for learners of Italian that I used as an example. I have a friend who uses it a lot, and thinks very highly of it - you have to skip past the men who insist on discussing Italian football at great length, and concentrate on the mutual support it offers members.

Do please let me know how you get on - I'll pass details of good groups on to other readers of this site.  Click here to send me an email.
