Yahoo!
Groups is one of the world’s
largest collections of online discussion boards. The term Groups refers to Internet
communication which is a hybrid between an electronic mailing list and a threaded
Internet forum, in other words, Group messages can be read and posted by e-mail
or on the Group's webpage like a web forum.
In addition, members can choose
whether to receive individual, daily digest or Special Delivery e-mails, or
simply read Group posts on the Group’s web site. Groups can be created with
public or member-only access.
Some Groups are simply
announcement bulletin boards, to which only the Group moderators can post,
while others are discussion forums. The variations of Yahoo Groups are
virtually endless.
As well as providing e-mail
relaying and archiving facilities for the many Groups it hosts, the Yahoo!
Groups service provides additional facilities for each Group web site, such as
a homepage, message archive, polls, calendar announcements, files, photos,
database functions, and bookmarks.
It is not necessary to register
with Yahoo! in order to participate in Yahoo Groups. The basic mailing list
functionality is available to any e-mail address, but a Yahoo! ID is required
to access some other features.
