Electronic Group Discussion Networks

Hello, Folks! We meet up again to discuss a new topic, "How To Create Electronic Group Discussion Networks, namely Yahoo! Group and Facebook Group?

Yahoo! Group

These are some of the simple steps to create your very own Yahoo! Group.

1. First of all, before creating a new Yahoo! group, do ensure that you have already created an official Yahoo! email account previously. If you have not done that yet, do refer to the previous post, "How to create an official Yahoo! email account?"
2. Visit Yahoo! Group home page at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ and click on the button "Start your group" at your right handed side of the computer screen. 
3. Follow the procedures required step by step in order to customise your Yahoo! Group account.
4. Start inviting friends and facilitators through their email addresses and wait for their replies. =)

As a requirement for the GGGE1155 course, "Computer in Education", we need to join the Yahoo! Group created by the UKM lecturer, Dr. Siti Fatimah bt Mohd Yassin. So, these are the steps to join in a certain Yahoo! group account.

1. Log into the intended Yahoo! Group account. In my case, it's http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ge1155ipg2011
2. Click the button "Join" located at the bottom part of the computer screen.
3. Follow through the procedures required step by step to validate your joining the Yahoo! Group account.
4. Do remember to introduce yourself to make yourself known to the administrator of the Yahoo! Group Account.

Happy Exploring!

Facebook Group

These are some steps to creating an official Facebook group.

1. As usual, make sure you have an official Facebook account before proceeding to create a group account. If you have not done so, refer to the previous post, "How to register for an official Facebook account?"
2. At the left-handed side of the screen, click on the button, "Create a group"
3. Type in the desired group name and names of friends you would like to add into your group in the drop-down menu.
4. Next, click on the button, "Create" to finalise your creating an official Facebook group account.
5. Last but not least, you need to reset the group's privacy setting from "Open" to "Restricted" to prevent access of unrelated people.

Creating an official Facebook group enables the administrator to notify the others member by putting up posts or messages on the group's wall. In short, Facebooking is so CONVENIENT! Facebook group has made chatting among its member available too through a specialised "chat room". =)
