Google Groups

In my goal to use every single Google product there is I have ventured into Google Groups for the first time. Well, I did subscribe to a couple small ones earlier and that was a taste but now I'm running a group for a purpose. Usually the groups I am involved with use Yahoo Groups but with the threat that Microsoft might acquire and assimilate Yahoo in some fashion on my mind I want to migrate away from them as fast as I can. Next step, get my mother to use gmail instead of yahoo's classic mail interface.

I like Google groups so far. I'm rocking the pages section which is unlike anything I ever used on Yahoo. It's so very useful and in less than an hour I've compiled a huge amount of relevant information for my group onto one page. I really like the layout of the information and the theme I am using is beautiful to look at.

I don't like the 10mb limit on file sizes. I need to upload some 20mb pdfs and I can't. i haven't heard of google buying any drop.io like sites yet and I know they don't have a competitor for amazon's S3 service, that would have made the headlines. Well, at least this is a chance for me to try out drop.io. Which I just did and it's pretty great.
