LinkedIn SubGroups

Today I got an email from LinkedIn announcing that they will be adding subgroups!

We’re happy to announce that later this week we are launching a long-requested feature for group managers: the ability to create subgroups. Subgroups are like a break-out session at a conference. They enable you to create more focused areas than in the main group.

Also, by creating and inviting members into subgroups, you can now send additional weekly Announcement emails to focused audiences.

This is pretty awesome – I just wish they had done this from the start so that I didn’t have to sign up for so many library specific groups – I could have signed up for 1 or 2 and put myself into the appropriate sub groups after the fact. It will be interesting to see where this goes and how people start organizing their existing groups.
