Google Groups' latest collaboration tools now available to all users
Ever get the impression that organizing an event is like herding feral kittens? If so, then you might want to check out Google Groups. If you're unfamiliar with the service, Groups are basically bulletin boards that you can participate in via email, with the ability to set boards either public or private. Up until this point, some of Groups' best features have been limited to to users of Google Apps for Business, but that all changes today. Now everyone can create a group inbox and email address to collaborate on items -- which really beats wading through a gaggle of forwarded emails. You can also assign tasks to other members of the group, manage email and mark items as resolved. No time for dealing with the same questions over and over? Hit 'em back with a canned response -- don't worry, your secret's safe with us.
Google launches Macs Inside Google group
If you haven't been following the Official Google Mac Blog you haven't missed much. There's been no action since the day it launched. Until yesterday, that is, when they announced the opening of the Macs Inside Google group, where Mac users of Google products can swap news, tips, ideas, suggestions and troubleshooting techniques.Rose Yao, Mac Product Manager, says her job is to "combine Google's mission with Apple's to build great products that bridge the gap between the web and the desktop." Since I think we all share in that desire, we owe it to ourselves to join the group and let our voices be heard. More Apple-Google synergy can only be a good thing.Thanks, Bill I!
