If you are the owner of a google group, you can promote your groups thru your website using the google groups 2-provided promotion boxes, just like the ones provided by YahooGroups.
I was testing it just minutes before this post and i entered my email in the email address field. Then i got the message that says:
Almost there!
In order to confirm your request to join [our group name], a confirmation message has been sent to the following address: jeske@chat.net
Please check your mailbox for this message. You must click on the link in the email message to confirm your subscription. Until then you can...

Check out the group archives (only if public!)
bolding mine. Now who is jeske?.It didn't take long (0.24 seconds) after googling before i saw Mr. Jeske's page and his resume. Aha! what would a previous Yahoo Groups manager's email be doing at google groups' report page? Im not really sure, but I see two possible scenarios here, equally interesting i guess:
- David Jeske still works for yahoo and somehow he managed to request the google groups' developers to provide him feedback about the people that subscribes to a google group, or,
- he is working at google.
until he returns my email inquiries, the question still holds: Who in the world is David Jeske?
I know Dave Jeske and he works for Google. He was a developer at eGroups, which became Yahoo Groups. He quit that and started his own business which was bought by Google.
ReplyDeleteyes. thanks for the info. I should have updated this blog entry. He actually replied to my inquiry (and gave me my elusive Gmail account. :p ) His former co-workers from Egroups also confirmed his identity, thru the Google Groups 2 official list.
