Mathowie opened a metafilter group via google's beta-group feature, so I did the same for sportsfilter.
I have no idea what to do with it, or if its needed, but there it is if anyone has any ideas.
(I've never done much with groups, so I have no idea of the benefits/negatives or what they're good for and not good for.)

How is that any different than this? Ha. I'm clueless ;) We had talked about doing something along this line. Kind of an anything goes post what you want free form thing. I have no idea if this is good for that type thing. If not, and we decide to use it in the future, I didn't want someone else to take the name in the future. Besides, google's taking over the world. Don't wanna be left out.

Some of the advantages of this is its free, as much space as needed, years of posting would be super searchable, and it basically runs itself. But jerseygirl has already set up flickr for game type things, and I'm not trying to move in on anything already set up. I just signed up just in case. Hopefully there will be more opinions on the subject tomorrow. I'm guessing it could also be used for announcements, downtime, etc. Again, I'm just throwing out ideas.

Flickr, SpoFiWiki, now Usenet. I feel so fragmented.

Even if we don't use it now, it's better to grab it before someone else does and uses it for the forces of evil. or something.

Flickr, SpoFiWiki, now Usenet. I feel so fragmented. I know. But they're all different. Really ;) Even if we don't use it now, it's better to grab it before someone else does and uses it for the forces of evil. Yeah, that's better than I said it. I tried posting on this thing ,and it posted what i said many times. did the same thing on the mefi one. am i using it wrong? I've seen that happen to several posters. I'm sure it just has to do with it being beta. If Mathowie jumped off a bridge... Yeah, it does read that way. I meant more in the way that I had no idea google was beta testing this feature and mathowie's mention of it caught my attention. But this is where we draw the line. No spofi music section!

If mathowie jumped off a bridge... I definitely jump. Or I wait to see what rcade does.

I just line up on the bridge and then do the opposite of whatever jbou does. ;)

No spofi music section! I was just about to ask for that.

I'd lineup on the bridge and push jerseygirl AND jbou off. Us Blue Jay fans hate the Yankees AND Red Sox!
