Group.s gathers a community - playing with another beta

GROU.PS looks VERY interesting. Still in beta, it is described thusly:
  • GROU.PS is a social groupware. Briefly, it is a sharing platform for social groups.
  • Did you ever use Yahoo Groups or Google Groups? GROU.PS may be considered as an improved version of them.
  • The objective is to ease communication and sharing inside social groups.
  • GROU.PS responds to growing needs coming along with Web 2.0 revolution. Now there is an increasing demand for rich media sharing.
  • Besides, in order to prevent duplicate efforts, GROU.PS can abstract distributed popular service providers like Flickr (photo sharing), del.icio.us (bookmark sharing), Digg (bookmark sharing)...
    • The picture on the page says it well...


    I appreciated the scenarios they offered to help me get a sense of the tool. And I LIKE what I see. I wonder if this is "too beta" to use for our course?

    Dang, playing with tools sucks up the day.

    Aggregation of favored tools is on it's way.

    I've thought that it would be nice to be able to create a feedreader that others can use. This would be much easier for me to use in community organization that attempting to teach people how to use Google Reader.
