    Dear IL'ites,

    Social groups is a feature that we introduced last year. There are more than 50 social groups in existence today. It enables members to find each other of similar interest.

    One consistent feedback we got from our members was the need to have discussions within social groups. Today, we are going to make that possible. If an IL’ite expresses interest to be a “social group manager”, then we will turn on discussions in that social group.

    A social group manager’s role is pretty simple - ensuring a good quality level for the discussions that happen within the social group. Towards that, you will..

    - Start interesting discussions within the social group
    - Edit/Delete non-conforming messages in a discussion
    - Moderate conversations to be friendly and courteous
    - Control SPAM & Contact Detail Exchange

    Social group manager responsibility is for a period of 1-year. After that, we give another IL’ite the opportunity to manage it. The more members we involve to manage the site, the more democratic and community-driven it becomes. If you are interested in starting/managing a social group, please email support AT Indusladies.com.

    Thank you.

    Hi Malathy,
    How is discussing within a social group different from discussing on a forum on the same topic?

    Good Question BeeAmma.

    Social Groups are a much more narrow grouping of interest areas that our sub-forums. For example, there might be a social group for "Moms of Autistic Kids" or "I am Learning German" or "AR Rahman Fans" or "Caesarian Moms" etc. By providing a separate area for a narrow interest, we are hoping that more deeper and specific discussions can happen among our members, enriching their experience in IL.

    You wouldn't find a social group for a broad topic area like "Parenting" or "Pregnancy" or something like that. That would duplicate the forum and create confusion. Does that answer your question?

    Hi Malathy
    I also joined in so many social groups. But I do not know what is happening within these groups. So far I haven't interacted with any of these group members!!!
    Is there any activity going on now?
    Where will these groups discuss? & what is the difference between forums & group discussion??
