LinkedIn Groups are communities of like-minded professionals who share a common experience, passion, interest, affiliation, or goal. Groups provide members with a private and focused space to discuss relevant topics, share news stories, network, and collaborate with others.

This application lets you invite friends into a private chat room via a simple Tweet. This is amazing if you want to take a brief connection to a new level and have a longer conversation. A great example for using Nurph is to keep your Twitter community engaged in longer talks. I also had great results using it for support purposes if you want to get feedback on your product or service.
"Class Messenger makes it effortless for teachers to send home important notes and updates about the day's learning experiences. They can even see exactly which parents have read each note. And whether via app, text or email, communication through Class Messenger is always private."
It takes a Teacher about 30 seconds to build a Class. Then Parents or Students or both (depending on what's appropriate) can either sign up online (kind of like following someone on Instagram or Twitter) or get invited by email by the Teacher. After that, everyone can exchange messages via the app, website, email or text….you choose.
You can send photos + documents, create surveys, donation requests and meeting requests all with a few touches or keystrokes. And it's free!
