The idea of having project four submitted in a timely manner did not happen like I had hoped. I really did not have any problems with the SocialGo site throughout this project period until I tried adding groups. I do not know if it is because my understanding of groups is completely wrong or I just over thought everything but I spent hours trying to add some groups to our site.
The only place I really take part in groups is on Facebook. So, when reading about adding groups to our site I though it would be like Facebook where I could look over other members with related topics and link to them on SocialGo. I thought it would be easy and I would have at least five before 11pm. So not easy! First of all you cannot search other socialgo sites and searching for them on Google did not help either. When you add a group it says you are the owner and essentially opens up a blank page where you are responsible for the group's content.
So, since I did not have any clue how to connect to other sites instead of making up groups I found groups and copied their link and picture and posted their About me sections. I did not have time however, to add content. I even connected through Facebook hoping I could link to groups that way but that did not work either. Maybe it is because we have a trial version, or maybe it is because SocialGo is not that popular but either way it was very hard to establish groups. I only hope that the information posted for each one will suffice for the purposes of this assignment.
