I spend lots of time on Google searching for random things. Bu tI also rely on the Groups section for many things. I feel that any developer is required to familurize themselves with this very useful tool. I See now that Google has launched a new Beta version of its group site. Which I feel is much smoother that its predicesor. It is much easier to read, and I can sift trough the replies much faster. There is a rating system, and it now tallies up the total numbers of members in the group. Some of the groups that I frequent are SharePoint Developers, SQL Server 2K, .NET Development and Movable Type -but mabey I got kicked out of that one-. Any how, a much better interface and functionality.
