GROU.PS | The Social Groupware Innovator

GROU.PS is referred to as "community software" (groupware), which can be initially understood as an "enhanced version" of Yahoo/Google Groups. In GROU.PS, resources from common services such as Flickr, del.icio.us, blogs, wikis, and content management systems (CMS) can be utilized. When I saw this name, I immediately thought of del.icio.us — breaking apart a word makes it simple and easy to remember. It seems that web2.0 site URLs are increasingly favoring simplicity, memorability, and personalization. Grou.ps can help people form groups online; it’s called: a sharing platform for groups. It contains rich features, equivalent to a mini SNS (social networking service). You can share local maps, photos, personal blogs, and other things of interest with others.
