eGroups

Pros: easy to use, navigate, a lot of member options
Cons: customer service never emails you back

I’ve been a member of the free web service eGroups (also known as Onelist) since April 2000 and so far I love it. But, with any online service or any service as a matter of fact there are downsides.

Pros: great way to find & keep in touch with people who have mutual interests
Cons: POLITICS!

Since Epinions seems to be the last place on the planet to find out that Yahoo has taken over Egroups, I have to put the opinion under the old name. Hmm. So you like birdwatching, but no one in your family does? Go to www.yahoogroups.com and ...

Pros: Specifically, your reviews will be potentially seen to many and you get to know many others
Cons: Like any system, people can abusive it

* I thought about placing this under General Comments about Epinions, but was not sure if it fit there since this is more about the eGroup than the Epinions site itself - please forgive if you feel it was placed here in error

Who here...

Pros: Lots of features make each persons set of eGroups unique to them.
Cons: An ad precedes every message set.

The first question people ask me when we discuss the internet is always, "Can I talk to real people?". Well, you can and this is one of the best ways.

Forget chat, this is more useful and moves as fast or slow as you desire.

...

Pros: many great features, easy to use, thousands of lists to choose from
Cons: can be addicting and time-consuming

I joined the Onelist email list community a couple of years ago and had my problems and rewards with it, but now that it has merged with eGroups, is it that much better? I haven't had any problems signing in and being recognized and if I forget my...

Pros: Yahoogroups has email groups on every subject and interest for you to join and enjoy!
Cons: They keep changing their name!

Pros: great way to meet new people and read other reviews

For those who do not know what egroup is, here is some information about this site.

Pros: Free, convenient, easy to use, comprehensive.
Cons: Some people don't like the ads, but I don't care about them.

I didn't actually choose eGroups for my email list needs - I originally joined Onelist. Since then, Onelist and Egroups merged and there have been some changes, but I'm very pleased with the service, especially since it's free!

Online journals...

Pros: easy to access, great groups

Pros: great place to make new friends
Cons: bad tech support

About three years ago when I got online one of my first discoveries was Egroups (formally known as OneList). Being a military wife and moving around I often found that making new friends was a difficult thing to do. So when I first joined the Egroups...

Pros: Meet new people with your interests & organize all your email lists
Cons: Sometimes it takes a while for the moderator to approve you

Pros: something there for everyone
Cons: contains adult oriented groups

I discovered eGroups through a recommendation from my Mother. She uses eGroups as a great source in her quest for tracing our family roots.

When I first went to eGroups and signed up, I was overwhelmed. So many groups so little time. Then...
