Yahoo! Groups Moderator News
January 2001
======================================================================
Dear Yahoo! Groups Moderator,
We'd like to officially welcome you to Yahoo! Groups, the new service
that incorporates eGroups technology. If you haven't done so, please
check out the new website:
http://groups.yahoo.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING STARTED - SIGNING IN:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All you have to do to access your groups on the web site is to link
your current eGroups account(s) to a Yahoo! ID using our wizard. (If
you don't use the web site, you won't need to link your accounts.)
The process is simple:
1. Go to the wizard:
http://groups.yahoo.com/convwiz
2. Tell us the eGroups account you'd like to link to a Yahoo! ID.
(Your account is the email address you've used to sign in to the
eGroups service.)
3. Tell us the Yahoo! ID you'd like to link your account to. If you
don't have a Yahoo! ID, you can register for one at that time.
4. If you have multiple eGroups accounts, you need to go through the
wizard more than once. You can link up to 5 accounts per Yahoo! ID.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
* Please remember that your groups have not moved. They are still
here! All you are doing is establishing a Yahoo! ID log-in to access
them via the web site.
* Old URLs and email addresses will continue to work.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT'S NEW / WHAT'S STILL THE SAME
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All the features you know and love about eGroups are now part of
Yahoo! Groups. In addition, we've added some new functionality that we
hope you'll enjoy.
WHAT'S NEW:
Yahoo! Groups has lots of new features and even better customization.
You can:
* Chat with other group members using our improved Yahoo! Chat.
* Add a splash of color to your group, or a group home page photo, all
without knowing HTML.
* See when group members are online and communicate with them in real
time using Yahoo! Messenger.
* Reach a larger audience. You will have the entire Yahoo! network of
communications and communities services at your doorstep.
And much, much more to come!
WHAT'S STILL THE SAME:
* All eGroups email and web addresses will continue to work. You can
still send email to <groupname>@egroups.com, <groupname>@onelist.com
as well as <groupname>@yahoogroups.com
(Your members will receive all mail from <groupname>@yahoogroups.com)
* All of your group information including messages, calendar events,
and your entire membership have been maintained.
* Yahoo! Groups remains a free service
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT'S NEXT?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* International sites: We'll soon begin to internationalize Yahoo!
Groups. In the interim, you can continue to use the international
versions of eGroups.
* Clubs integration: We plan to integrate Yahoo! Clubs into Yahoo!
Groups later this year. The service will offer all of the previous
Clubs features, as well as other enhancements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
