Talk:Yahoo! Groups

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should this be "Yahoo Groups" instead of "Yahoogroups"? I'm not sure. -- Mattworld 21:21, 28 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Number of Users? Number of Groups? Number of Emails sent?

Is there data on the number of Yahoo! Groups users? How about the total number of (active) groups? Or email digests mailed out? Ateman 14:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)ateman

[edit] Merge?

There has been suggestion that too many of Yahoo!'s services have their own pages. This is a borderline case, so please discuss at Talk:Yahoo!. - IMSoP 15:36, 22 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Photos in large?

Does anyone know the trick to view the photos in the large resolution? TIA.--Hhielscher 11:03, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

I know it helps if you uploaded them... --Jason McHuff 05:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking feedback on Google Groups article

Hello. I wrote an article about a related topic, Google Groups. As a new Wikipedia writer, I would appreciate any feedback on my article. Please help me by posting your feedback at the Wikipedia:Article Feedback Desk. If you wrote an article and are seeking feedback on it, please post your article at the Article Feedback Desk as well. If you could suggest better ways for me to seek feedback on my article, do leave a note at my talk page. --J.L.W.S. The Special One 12:52, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

The "criticism" contains weasel words. Criticism is always in danger to be POV (WP:NPOV), or even personal opinion. The article may improve from a technical feature list, like the one within this article. I do not know Google groups, but it makes a good impression (informative).

Shut up, retard...

[edit] Feature list

I wrote the feature list, Today i have put it into better style. Some data is now displayed double (twice), but i do not believe this really bugs people. Probably some people seek "float text", others (like me) seek a technical feature list. I have added the explanation about the registration process. Akidd dublin•tl•ctr-l 16:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GROU.PS

Bogus link? Why?

Among other things, external links don't belong in the See also section. --ozzmosis 09:08, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanation; I created the GROU.PS page in Wikipedia and now add it to See also section of this page.
Reference to this little-used site seems to just be here to promote it. It's got an Alexa rating over well over 100,000 - so it's clearly not a often-used site. --Oscarthecat 21:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are there any alternatives to google/yahoo groups?

There is lots of internet-forum software about - but do any have the email-to-forum facility that 'yahoo groups' has?Jonathan3 15:22, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] History

Doug, Wikipedia has a policy of no original research that some people sometimes go overboard on. I know what you wrote is correct because I was there with you back then, but you should back up everything with sources and/or citations. Stev0 22:51, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia also has a policy that you can not write an (advert) article about a product of your employer. And Yahoo! does not allow to superimpose to represent Yahoo! (see their terms and conditions). The history section is not really WP:OR, a statement about Yahoo! has added new feature recently absolutely belongs into the article. Don't know about how to handle insider knowledge (how to link sources/citations). Verify Non_Disclosure_Agreement... User:Yy-bo 13:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yahoo! Photos

this article needs improvement; it is not good like it is right now. User:Yy-bo 13:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)


Yahoo Groups sucks, They still have all the adult groups but have screwed up so many they have lost a great number of people to other sites. They really suck and they killed Egroups wich was one of the best.

[edit] Template

Perhaps a template could be created for Yahoo group links?

[edit] Spring 2006?

The article says "As of Spring 2006, Yahoo! has discontinued the chat feature in Yahoo! Groups."

Spring 2006? This is too vague. It could refer to February, March, April, May, September, October, or November. --Kprateek88(Talk | Contribs) 18:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
