   Review - Grouper

   1.3 Beta (Feb 1, 2005)

   The new release of Grouper (v 1.3) fixes it's most troubling performance problems, giving the user options for balancing bandwidth use of upstream and downstream file transfers and other applications you may have running at the time. It also adds features to enhance its use as a social communications tool, even building a "mini-email" tool into the client.
   
   For strengthening its social networking power, group creators now have the option of "listing" their groups on a public Web page (soon to appear) so that people interested in the focus of their group can send a "request for an invitation" to join. Group creators still have the option of turning down a request, but can ask questions to see if there's a good match.
   
   It's a much more useful tool than it was a month ago, but it only gets a 4 rating because it still lacks the public Group Directory that will help attract new members.
