What is the difference between a group and a space?

A space is a kind of group used to enable a group of people to collaborate together. Jiglu has four types of groups:

• Spaces
• Blogs
• Monitors - for viewing and analysing external content
• Status update groups - for status updates from individual users

All four share some things in common, such as members (called followers for a status update group) and settings, but differ in the kinds of content that they each support.

Note that because status update groups are linked to a specific user they are hidden behind that user rather than being stand-alone as with the other types of group.
