Google Inc. has launched the next generation Google Groups on the 'Groups' link of the Google home page. This enhanced product is designed to enable users to create, manage, search, and browse Web-based groups, as well as subscribe to and track favorite groups. Building on the foundation of the original service, Google Groups now offers users the ability to join and follow discussions among different groups, keep in touch with family and friends, and share information more easily. New features of Google Groups include: the ability to create groups, dynamic conversations, an enhanced user interface, email notification, searching within a group or across many groups, and relevant text ads. Currently in beta and available in English language only, Google Groups can be found by clicking on the 'Groups' link on the Google home page.
