Google groups? Any experience?

Hi,

Has anybody worked with Google groups? If anyone has, please send what groups. Maybe send your private group if you have one.

Any educational free links or your tips would help.

Want to start my own, can't get where to get started. I know that forum is a good community tool that helps to turn forum after 1-2 years of good work into a powerful community tool. Can Google groups work this way?

Your helpful approach would be a great favor.

Thanks.
