Yahoo Groups has a wonderful portal, which you can utilise
effectively to make this an enriching & fruitful cyber sphere. Linking to
the homepage is your first step to its
goodies. Here're briefly what its tools are all about & how you can
hone them to accentute your style.
Read the explanations & then Click on the respective
links below:
1. Home : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni
It takes you to the homepage of the group. You don't need to link to your email-id to access this page. However on your left frame you have tools which you can access only if you've tied up your id with the group using the wizard etc. However Home , File & Photos are three default tools that are accessible to you even if you haven't linked your e-mail id to group.
2. Database : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/database
You need to link up to access this. This is a wonderful facility wherein you can create databases for your bookkeeping activities or some other creative work viz. we have created a Kumauni thesaurus for all our members to share the kumauni dialectical heritage.
3. Photos : http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/lst
Another wonderful database, where
you can share your travel experiences or other interesting images .Only ensure that the images you
upload should be compressed (not BMP's) since you only get 30 Megs of storage.
4. BookMarks :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/links
Now that’s neat. You can bookmark sites and information that you feel could be useful or helpful to your group members.
5. Polls : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/polls
Need I say anything on this. Use can utilise this tool to foment opinions ,
ingratiate or deprecate others....I mean if your portal wields that much
influence and reach.
6. Calender :
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/calendar
Thats another cute little housekeeping utility. It may be used to set reminders for the group. You can schedule events , broadcast messages at set intervals and their reminders at specified intervals. For instance if u set up a poll for the group or set up an invitation for a group chat you can use this tool to set specific reminders.
7. Chat : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/chat
I think everybody knows about this. It along with Calendar can be used to schedule group chats at times convenient to all.
8. Messages : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kumauni/messages
Last but not least. If you want to access older messages
this is the link.
