Apple Announces an Update to .Mac - Softpedia

Apple Announces an Update to .Mac - Softpedia: "Apple announced a significant update to .Mac, the membership-based online service that combines.

New .Mac features include:

- .Mac Groups: .Mac members can now easily create private, ad-free online communities that make it easy for family, friends and private groups to communicate, coordinate and share digital media. With .Mac Groups, members can send emails to the entire group using a single address; post files, pictures and movies with a common group iDisk; publish group web pages and post links to other sites; and keep up-to-date with the latest group events with a shared iCal calendar.

- Backup 3: .Mac Backup has been redesigned from the ground up resulting in easier setup, quicker backups and the ability to seamlessly automate the process so users don't have to remember to run a backup. New features include the ability to automatically back up iLife content, Home folder, iTunes purchased music, and other Mac essentials. Built-in Mac OS X 'Tiger' Spotlight search capabilities make it easy to select specific files to backup, while incremental backups help
to save time and media costs. "
