Why Email Groups?
Why Email Groups?
Our communication platform is groups.io, where all members have access to express their opinions and suggest action items to help fight against Trump and his administration.
Groups.io provides an expansive set of web-based group communication tools, including a calendar, wiki, file and photo sharing areas, and chats. All of these features are built around the core email group system. Groups.io believes that the type and style of communication an email group fosters are the best way for many groups to communicate, whether those groups represent companies, organizations, communities, or hobbyists.
Combining the ease of email with the features available on the web, Groups.io strives to be the ultimate communications venue for everyone.
The advantages of email:
The advantages of email:
Email Communication Is Asynchronous: Unlike real-time (synchronous) chats or instant messaging, email group members are not forced to be online all at the same time. The asynchronous nature of email has several advantages, especially for larger, distributed groups. Asynchronous communication means more dedicated time to solve problems: It works better for more loosely coupled groups, and it works better for larger groups.
Email Fosters Thoughtful Communication: Email lends itself to longer, more thoughtful exchanges than chats or instant messaging, which makes for better, more thorough communication.
Email Is Universal: If you're on the Internet, you have email. It is the one universal thing, requiring no new app to be installed. It works over slow Internet links. It works for people with visual impairments. Of course, Groups.io has a modern web app, but it isn't required to participate in groups.
Better archive organization with hashtags. Tag a message topic by including a #hashtag in the subject.

Hashtags let you control and organize your archives. Tags can have an expiration; topics with those tags will be automatically deleted after the specified time. Tags can also be set as No Email, for when you want to include messages in the archive but you don't want to have them sent to the group. Tags can be restricted to a predefined set. And of course the archives are searchable by tag.

You can mute individual topics and hashtags. And we have a set of powerful subscription options. You can receive every message. Or you can opt to receive only the first message in a topic, with the option to follow the topic later. Or you can opt to receive only messages in topics that you start. Finally, you can opt to receive no emails at all.
Groups.io supports all the advanced options you'd expect in a modern groups service.
