> Dear eGroups Member,
>
> We have exciting news to share with you. We want you to be among the
> first to know that eGroups and Yahoo! Clubs will be merging. The new
> service will be called Yahoo! Groups. We expect the service to launch
> early in the new year.
>
> WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH EGROUPS?
>
> Don't worry, all eGroups email and web addresses will continue to
> work, all data and event ownership will be maintained, and your
> entire group membership will carry over.
>
> Everything you love about eGroups will still be around. Yahoo! Groups
> will continue to be a free service, and all the main features you use
> now will continue to be a part of the new Groups service. We'll begin
> to internationalize Yahoo! Groups after we've launched the service in
> the United States. In the interim, you will be able to use the
> international versions of eGroups.
>
> WHAT'S NEW?
>
> Yahoo! Groups will have lots of new features and even better
> customization. Upon launch, you will be able to:
>
> * Chat with other group members using our improved Yahoo! Chat.
> * Add a splash of color to your group, or a main page photo, all
> without knowing HTML.
> * See when group members are online and communicate with them in real
> time using Yahoo! Messenger.
> * Reach a larger audience. You will have the entire Yahoo! Network at
> your doorstep.
>
> And much, much more to come!
>
> The best part -- you won't have to do anything to convert your group.
> This will happen automatically. All you have to do to access the
> wide array of web functionality is merge your current eGroups
> account with a Yahoo! ID when the new service launches. You don't
> need to do anything now and there will be a very easy-to-use wizard
> to help you do this when the time comes. NOTE: email-only users will
> not need a Yahoo ID.
