Coordinate Activities with
.Mac Groups
.Mac lets you organize groups with elegance and ease.
Everyone is busy, and face-to-face meetings can be hard to schedule. If you’re a
member of a team, club, or other organization, you can use .Mac to take the burden
out of communicating and collaborating with the other members of your group.
Here are some examples of ways you can use .Mac Groups:
• You’re the coach of your daughter’s soccer team. You post announcements about
schedule changes to a private group site, as well as a calendar showing all the
practices, games, and parties for the season. Parents who have taken photos share
pictures of highlights from the games.
• You’re taking an evening class for fun. You and your fellow class members plan study
sessions, organize fi eld trips, and consult about homework without talking on the
phone or getting in the car.
• You often plan parties, vacations, and special events with your family. You quickly
share options for a summer beach house, including photos and links to area informa-
tion, so that everyone can agree on which house to rent.
Any .Mac member can set up a group. As a matter of fact, you can set up as many
groups as you want—the only limitation is the amount of your available storage.
Each group requires a minimum donation of 30MB of storage from the owner; you
can confi gure how much space to use for group messages and group iDisk storage.
Whether you’re a group owner or a regular member, links to all your groups appear
on your .Mac main page for convenient, one-click access. And as with all .Mac features,
.Mac Groups is completely ad-free.
