Google Groups

< we are different from everyone else | Left, right and center >

I was looking at Google Groups last night, just 'cause I hadn't for a while...and wow, it sure did look a hell of a lot like Yahoo! Groups was a few years ago: every public group filled with spam. Took a while to find the checkboxes for "do not allow group owners to add me to their list" and "do not allow group owners to invite me to their list."

Yep, just what the Internet needed: another public mailing list service that wasn't sufficiently well thought out. Didn't ANYONE learn from eGroups (which later became Yahoo! Groups) and Topica's free service and MSN Groups and all the others?
