Groups in Chatter

At Dreamforce, they showed Chatter with Groups.  Should I try to build out Groups on my own as a separate object and tie Chatter using the API / Apex or should I wait for Salesforce to rollout grouping and hashtags..etc.

 

Thoughts?

With any luck, the product team will be able to deliver groups in the Summer '10 release (~June).  It probably doesn't make sense for you to build your own right now.

+1 for groups.

 

I would create my own model but it would seem a bit tricky with the lack of the User object to be in the necessary relationshps.

Groups are on the roadmap. (insert Safe harbor here)

Groups are also on the Google Wave roadmap, although I don't think there has been any progress since last summer. Would be nice if y'all can come up with a compatible model.

 

Happy to help here.
