iGrOOps can be used by just about any kind of group, club, community, family, or organization there is. Between the free option and the professional option, any group can benefit from an iGrOOp.
Here are some live examples of iGrOOps in use.
iGrOOps are membership-based communities with most of the tools and content available to members only. Unless you are a member of these groups, you will not be able to see all the features.
The EVcast is an iGrOOp used as part of an "enhanced" podcast. It is for anyone interested in electric cars.
EVcast.com focuses on the podcasting capabilites of iGrOOps, simple audio blog entries automatically create the RSS feed that podcatchers need, including iTunes.
EVcast.com also uses the new "Live Broadcasting" application to allow listeners to listen in real time and comment using the built in chat.
The Year To Success iGrOOp is run by an author of a book who uses the group to communicate with readers and provide premium content to paid members.
He is using two membership levels -- the first level is free which gives readers access to forum and the second level is $19 per month, which gives readers direct access to author through private messages and live video chat sessions, as well as access to much video and audio information. Cost to author: $29 per month.
The Joel Barlow Class of 1990 iGrOOp is a site for the 172 alumni that make up that group. It is a pro option and asks for donations though the integrated PayPal donations feature.
The iGrOOp uses the FAQ as a "what ever happened to..." feature, where classmates can post what they know about other classmates.
