Google Group Forum versus Google Group Email List

A Google Group forum allows all members to send a notification to all other members by posting in the group. A Google Group email list allows owners and managers to send a notification to all members. Forums are good for small groups of people in similar geographic areas, or small groups of people with similar skills attempting to work on specific tasks.
