I’m curious, what group tools do you use? What websites and apps let you connect with people that you share a passion about?

Do you connect with some groups regularly and some groups once a year? Is the frequency of your connection more based on where that interest sits in your priorities or a reflection of the people in it, the tool they use or how ‘online’ it is?

There is a poll below, but I’m also curious to know what you love and hate about them too.

Also, do you feel that you have groups in other non-grouped applications. e.g. Twitter and Friendfeed. Rooms is sort of groups, but sort of not.

Do we need groups anymore or are we all just merrily connected

My group life…..

Google Groups - I have a few groups here that I partake in and one that I’m subscribed to for email alerts - CoWorking - since I’m on a bent right now. The rest I don’t look at and never go into Google Groups unless I want something.

Yahoo Groups - was a member once, of one group, but never opened the email, so unsubscribed.

Facebook Groups - have tried to start a few, and am a member of a few, but don’t really do much with them. Get emails from some, including one about a weekly game of soccer.

Tangler Groups - am in lots of groups/forums (from my work with them) and do gaze at the weekly email. I also go in there to do specific things and to roam around a few times a week.

I have a Pollenizer room in Friend Feed and use it like a Delicious tagger for stuff for the team to read. I don’t traipse in there much though.

Other places….

I wish Twitter had groups.

I don’t really use Flickr groups but I like Squared Circle.

3eep groups are teams, which is same same but different.

So what about you?
