[NewsBot]

The Social Groups application allows for the creation of special interest oriented groups on your website. The basic idea behind the app is very similar to the groups system on Facebook but it expands upon the idea to provide more features than a simple Facebook group page. This app is perfect for any community where there are multiple sub-interest groups within the site. This app will facilitate the creation of a tighter knit community through the creation of more intimate and specialized interactions. It allows for sites with 10,000s of members to provide a specialized niche for each member without crowding the site. So whether you are a gaming clan trying to organized separate factions or a large community centered around a hobby (cars) or an educational focus (university), you can serve the needs of your members' unique interests with this app.

Note: This is the first release of this application so there may be some bugs or flaws. I will do my best to remedy these as quickly as possible. It also is not yet fully translated into language bits, so it will not easily be translatable into any language other than English. I will be sure to get it fully translated by the next release.
