Manage your Yahoo & Google Groups in One Place

Are you an active member of Yahoo Groups, Google Groups etc? Does it take lot of time and effort in staying updated on all the groups? If yes and yes, then possible alternative is ‘Grouply’. It lets you manage your Yahoo and Google groups at one place together. With Grouply, you can keep up with your existing online groups in less time.

You receive a Grouply Smart Digest email each day that summarizes what’s going on across all your groups, highlighting what’s interesting to you and hiding what’s not. You can view a single cross-group event calendar, see what’s interesting to fellow group members, and quickly search or browse across all your existing groups from one place.

Here goes the procedure: Grouply aggregates all of your messages across all of your online groups into a single, easy-to-use website. Grouply is similar to online email services such as Yahoo Mail, Gmail, AIM mail, and inbox.com. Grouply works exactly the same way.

When you register with Grouply, Grouply assigns you a grouply.com email address (e.g., mark@grouply.com) and then automatically adjusts your membership settings in Yahoo Groups so that group messages will be sent to Grouply via this address.

Grouply: Website - Register - Take a Tour

You can read message but subscribing to Grouply Smart Digest email or visiting grouply website. Posting a Message also has two options of using email or using ‘Post a Msg’ button while using Grouply website. This website aims to save you time and easily manage subscription to various groups. Worth a try, if you are an active Groupie!
