Wiggio Has Lots of Potential for “Online Community Groups”

picture-3Wiggio, first seen and announced here, is something to be investigated, especially for the savvy technoevangelist interested in testing and stretching this little application beyond it’s original conceived intention.

It’s like Twitter (and Yammer) but with a host of other tools and features that may persuade you to get an account:

On Wiggio, you can share and edit files, manage a group calendar, poll your group, post links, set up conference calls, chat online and send mass text, voice and email messages to your group members. Each group member can define how they want to keep informed of group activity.

After taking it for a spin, I must say that I’m impressed. You can easily administer and manage your groups, share files, set up conference calls and live chat with a few mouse clicks. In addition, people can join your group without actually needing a username and password. This makes the ease of adoption significantly simple. I like that.

Check out this vid after the jump. It’s comprehensive and should give you everything you need to know.

I’d love to see someone knock this out of the park and use it for their online community group efforts… in fact, I may look into that as well for the ministry that I serve.

Finally, if you want to join my test group, I’ve created one called “ChurchCrunch” and the password is “123456“. To get access to the site, use the “TechCrunch” code for signup.
