April 23, 2008 - Pikaba Groups Launched

Groups are discussion areas that allow members to share requests, ideas, recommendations and information in one place. On Pikaba we’ve taken this even a step further. The Groups functionality is now a powerful element in your social shopping that you can leverage for many purposes. For instance, members can join or create a group for group buying and request wholesale prices from sellers. And sellers can build a group to sell in bulk and make a special group offer. So bring together friends, family, or colleagues and start a group.
