    of digital communities=2E Eighteen years ago, we combined the functionalit=
    y of a site called eGroups=2Ecom with a precursor community platform called=
    Yahoo Clubs to launch Yahoo Groups=2E Since then, you and millions of othe=
    rs have helped prove our hypothesis, by creating and joining more than 10 M= illion groups=2E<br><br>
    A lot has changed about the Internet since 2001, including the ways most p= eople now use Yahoo Groups=2E Today, most Yahoo Groups activity happens in = your email inbox, not on the bulletin boards where Yahoo Groups started in = the pre-smartphone age=2E Increasingly, people want content and connections=
    coming directly to them, and this is why we continue to invest in Yahoo Ma=
