New and of possible iinterest to info pros and educators: Private Groups.
Send messages to a select group of people about a new book, new article, class project, etc. with a single post to those in the private group you've built. Something journalists might also find useful.
also, Public Groups:
These connect you with people who share similar interests. Just like a private group, once you've joined you'll see any messages that get sent to
the group and you'll be able to message everyone within that group. The difference with public groups is that anyone can join them and a friend can browse your public groups from your Pulse. Just make sure that if you start your own group you give it some good tags so people can find it and join the conversation.
