Minigroup Launches Site for Creating Instant, Private Groups

Users can communicate, share files, and collaborate with separate groups through single interface; set custom profiles for different groups

NEW YORK, May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Minigroup Inc. today announced the public beta release of Minigroup, a private site for sharing in groups, at https://minigroup.com. Designed for privacy and individual control, Minigroup lets its users share the right things with the right people. Users can communicate, share, and collaborate with all the groups in their life, privately and separately, through one easy, elegantly designed interface.

Unlike social networks, activity on Minigroup is private by default. Activity is hidden from search engines, strangers, and "friends of friends". Users create groups by inviting people using email addresses or private invitation links. Within Minigroup, groups are separate and private. Nobody sees inside a user's groups, or knows about them, unless they're invited.

Because of its unique architecture, Minigroup is suited to both personal and business use. Users communicate and share with friends, family, teams, clients, or work groups. Your network of groups builds with you at the center, but growth is up to you: Minigroup never prompts users to "reconnect" or expand their networks. Currently, groups may have up to 150 members.

Corresponding with the many uses of Minigroup, users can create multiple, group-specific custom profiles from their single account. Users can upload businesslike or personal profile pictures, and provide personal information to suit each group.

Minigroup lets users share messages, links, images, audio, video, events, and virtually any kind of file, including Adobe® Acrobat® PDF and Creative Suite files, and Microsoft® Office documents. Users can post to groups or individuals in their groups on the site, or from any web page using the Minigroup bookmarklet (https://minigroup.com/tools).

Minigroup is free, with no advertising. A mobile version of the site lets users share with existing groups and individuals on-the-go. Premium features and storage are planned, though a free version of the site will continue.
