Groupsites – This is Cool Stuff
OK, so I am a little slow. I have just now gotten around to working with and really understanding Groupsites. Groupsites are a new class of websites that basically allow any group the ability to create their own unique social network and collaboration site. Groupsites combine the features of traditional websites, blogs, collaboration software and social networks. Groupsites can be either public or private and provide a meeting place that typically provides members with a shared calendar, discussion forums, group blog member profiles, photo gallery, and file storage.
ACORD and IIABA have already begun to make use of this powerful productivity and collaboration tool.
If you are an agent who has the need to communicate, network, or share information with employees and/or customers you owe it to yourself to check into Groupsites – this is very cool stuff.
Check out CollectiveX or Ning. Both companies provide free software to set up your on-line Groupsite.
