How to revamp Yahoo! Groups?

3/28/2006 – 12:23 pm

Jeremy Zawodny has some thoughts about the possible evolution of Yahoo! Groups.

There are bits of JotSpot (notable Tracker), WordPress, and Flickr that I think could be sprinkled into Yahoo Groups, not to mention Google Maps and/or Wayfaring, Yahoo! Local, Google Calendar, and a few other things.
