Pijoo Groups to Return
Aug 10th, 2008 by Brett
Early in the beta phase of Pijoo, we had an experimental feature called Groups. This feature allowed users to create communities based on a common interest and manage a group of friends with like-minded interests.
Back then, our userbase was too small to benefit from the feature, so we dropped it in later versions of Pijoo, and very quickly had lots of complaints from members who wanted groups to stay. We’re now ready to re-introduce groups into Pijoo, which will allow you to build communities around anything you like, making it much easier to get your message out to a wider audience.
Over the coming weeks, some of you will be randomly selected to try out the groups beta, play around and really get a deeper involvement in the community. Keep a look out for the Groups tab - if you see it, you’ve been chosen to test this feature before we roll it out to everyone.
In a nutshell, groups will allow you to connect with users who share your interests, chat and share ideas based on the group topic, as well as create and manage your own groups based on any topic you like.
**Updated : Removed mention of sponsor accounts, as we only restrict site features that would impact on bandwidth etc.. in the long-term. We’re not yet decided how groups are going to work but they’ll definitely be available for everyone.
