Group

Updated : Tuesday 2 February 2010

The expression “user group” means a group of internet users with a common interest who meet in an internet forum to exchange information and opinions. This kind of virtual forum can also be called a Hub (on Viadeo). Generally speaking, it costs nothing to join one of these groups, or you can also set up your own.

  • On Facebook, the social network that’s mainly personal and not professional, the names of some of the groups are mind-boggling. Just at random, I found: “I Will Go Slightly Out of My Way To Step On That Crunchy-looking Leaf”, or “No, I Don’t Care If I Die At 12AM, I Refuse To Pass On Your Chain Letter” … the more anecdotal, the better. But, if you want to raise a serious topic, you’ll be told it’s way too heavy, at any rate on Facebook.
