If you use Whatsapp you may know that Groups can list all media, documents and links shared in the group. A couple of groups I belong to have now become great repositories of useful online resources and documents. A search field would improve things, but still a good resource.
Other groups, of course, will rarely have any links or docs shared, but of course plenty of media- photos, memes, gifs and the like. Also helps to see who, if any, does share links or docs in a group and not just gifs.
For me, often sharing a link or a document with a relevant group is a way of & #39;bookmarking& #39; or collecting that resource so I can find it again, particularly when using the web from my mobile, where I rarely bookmark sites and never save my search/browsing history.
More than once I have gone to a Whatsapp group& #39;s links list/history to find a resource again in order to cite it or sharing with others within or outside Whatsapp.
Folk often think that if a link or document is shared on Whatsapp the sender means others to read it right away. Recipients feel like they need to say "I& #39;ll look at it later..."; perhaps they rarely do... (cont)
But unless expressly time-sensitive or urgent (there are all sorts of Whatsapp groups I suppose) links can be shared to be listed in the Group& #39;s links or docs list. Later, when not rushing or busy with other stuff, users can go to the links list, and pick and choose.
