You can search both Google and Groups.io.. Most object to Google due to data mining but fact is Yahoo does it also.. In truth I think we need to see what Verizon does with Yahoo.. Currently of the three options Yahoo is certainly the worst. Google has some pretty kool features to it.. I think I personally like groups.io the best.. When Yahoo started their group effort I understand they bought the technology from groups.io so that might say something..

All kidding aside there are features on both that are pretty slick.. so their different.. My honest suggestion would be to go on each and open a group so you can play …You can always delete the group later but don’t name it what you’d finally do as you can’t reuse that.  Google has a few interesting features ..You can actually set up conferences  limited to maybe 10 people or so I think.. so you could actually do a class of sorts on it.. so in your case that might be very appealing…both of them are set up well to use sub groups and key words so much superior organization than Yahoo. You can get to a tech person on groups.io pretty easily …On Yahoo you’d have to be Obama or the Pope maybe I think. No kidding go on both and play .. We are used to Yahoo and while it works and seems ok most have no clue what’s possible with the other two.. 

 

So maybe it’s not about just making a change ..if everyone is fine with Yahoo that …the old saying if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.. I think it should also be about , however, what’s missing what can you do on the other groups that you can’t on Yahoo..

 I have test groups set up now on both Google and Groups.io.. So I get
to see what is possible..

​Jim, do you have any conclusions about the two?  Being able to search the group's posts is important, as is the likelihood they'll be around 10 years from now.  Not knowing anything about Groups.io makes me initially think Google might be better platform, but I have not studied the situation.
