Most people use groups to act as discussion board, members or guests can post things to it as article. The readers can reply or rate or just read it. In fact, I use it a little bit differently.
In my company, it blocks the access to most web-mail client. So, I just created a personal Google Group, which it only have myself as the member. My company will not block a group since it is always resource of technical information. In this situation, Google Group just fit on what I need.
Besides, there are additional advantages on using Google Groups:
- unlimited storage (at least it doesn’t show you that it limits) - Group is unlike email, it assumes there are many members in a group, so it reserves more spaces for messages and files
- view by topic - just like a Gmail account, you can group the topics into the same thread. This kind of function is much better than traditional email account, which replies to the same message are separated to different portion of the Inbox
