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 \u2026You can always delete the group later but don\u2019t name 
it what you\u2019d finally do as you can\u2019t 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\u2026both 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 \u2026On Yahoo you\u2019d 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\u2019s 
possible with the other two..



So maybe it\u2019s not about just making a change ..if everyone is fine with 
Yahoo that \u2026the old saying if it ain\u2019t broke don\u2019t fix it.. I think it 
should also be about , however, what\u2019s missing what can you do on the other 
groups that you can\u2019t on Yahoo..

\u200b...



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

\u200bJim, 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.
