not quite a one-stop-shop for user groups, it's a handy default.<br>
<br>
Over the last year and a half, I've been involved with several groups,<br>
and definitely found that discovery of groups is very easy with it.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, there's a lock-in factor, and as someone pointed<br>
out, it's just oriented to organizing meetings (its<br>
discussion/collaboration is... Not Good).<br>

Thanks,<br>
