Grouply and Groups Access. Help to sort things out
Posted by Eric
In a previous post (read) we saw how we could find and select groups based on the information we have from Adult Groups Repertory. Depending on the flow of incoming messages, you might need some help to sort things out. We will have a look at two available services. Grouply and Groups Access.
What are Grouply and Groups Access.
While Grouply and Groups Access are both services that allow you to view a Groups content with a different interface, they are aimed at different types of users.
Grouply
Looking at the group description from the previous post, we see that the owner states “NO GROUPLY MEMBERS ALLOWED”. When you join Grouply you are asked to invite other group members members to join (repeatedly). In this case, 11314 messages would be sent to this group’s members in your name. This is one of the reasons Grouply is sometimes not allowed.
The good
If your main interest is text, Grouply could be for you.
If you take part in discussions or read and write erotic stories you will be
well served. The Smart Digest feature gives you quick view of summaries of
recent messages and you can customize your home page for fast access to your
groups. You can also find people with shared interests. This can help you find
more groups. Also works with Goggle groups. The service is free.
The Bad
Group search cannot be limited to adult groups. This can
make finding adult groups difficult. Unfortunately attachments are not supported
so you do not receive the photos or files. Some groups are supposed to give
photo access, but I did not find any.
Groups Access
Groups Access is not as well known as Grouply. You will find fewer group owners who object to Groups Access because Groups Access does not invite members to SPAM other group members.
The good
If you main interest is visual content, Groups Access
could be for you. Groups Access is aimed at the images and files collectors. You
can access all your groups and decide to view only messages with photos. These
photos are expanded on the same page. Attached images are stored on their server
so you can access the files from older messages. Photo albums and files are
accessible from the service with more ease than Yahoo. Unlimited adult groups
search results and selected lists of active moderated groups.
The bad
Only works with Yahoo Groups. Text messages are not sorted
by thread. Cannot use the service to post messages. It is not free.
Find out more about these services. Take the Grouply Tour to learn more about the features it offers. Then try the GroupsAccess LIve Demo to connect to actual Yahoo Groups with the Groups Access interface.
