New Group features
March 8, 2010 in Announcements
Did you know that anyone can create an online group on the university blogs? Groups can be private/hidden, invite only or open to the university community. A new update now allows group admins to invite anyone registered on the university blogs, rather than just your friends. You can also auto-post updates from different blogs into the group’s activity stream as well as posting updates directly to the group from your personal ‘status update’ text box.
Updates to group activity can be automatically sent out by email or followed by RSS news feed.
This means that the university blogs can now be used as a Twitter-like way to keep in touch with group members, discuss the interests that you share and follow blog posts that related to the group’s interests. To create a group, simply click on ‘Create a group’ on the Group directory page.
