About

GroupNews is the simple intranet for small to medium sized businesses (SMBs). It helps you keep everyone in your company informed and up to date. GroupNews does this by providing a platform for your company to publish and discuss everything happening in your organization, all in one place. Post updates, events, and deadlines in a unified news feed that everyone in the company has access to by default. The events and deadlines also get posted a global calendar. Additionally, channels help you organize your content the way you want it. Every post has an optional full featured discussion thread for contextually related updates and follow up. Cut down on confusing email chains and start a discussion instead! You can also request acknowledgment on any post to ensure that employees see the important news they need, and have a record of their having read it. Every week, a digest of the past weeks news, and the coming week's events and deadlines get sent to everyone in your group.
