----- eGroups Talk: Just Like a Phone Call, only Free! -----
Looking for a more personal way to keep in touch over the
Internet? Now you can carry on live voice conversations
with individuals or groups in your very own eGroups Talk
room. Best of all, it's FREE - kiss long-distance and
international telephone charges goodbye!
To get started you'll need a Windows 95, 98 or NT computer
with a microphone, speakers and a suitable sound card. Once
you're set up, just click the 'Talk' tab on your My Space
page and type in the email address of the person you'd like
to talk to, once they're logged in. You can also hold
private conversations with eGroup members by visiting your
favorite eGroup and clicking the 'Talk' tab.
TALK TIP: Try using the Calendar to schedule a time for
group Talk sessions.

------------------ eGroups: A Class Affair -----------------

back-to-school. Whether you're a teacher returning from
vacation to vocation, or a student returning from coastline
to cosine, one of the best ways to ease into the school year
is with an eGroup!
Use eGroups to get the most out of campus life:
+ Create a class mailing list

+ Use the Calendar to organize your class schedule
+ Maintain an alumni network for your alma mater
Here are some examples of eGroups created by users for life
at school:

Nations to keep in touch with teachers, friends and other
