On October 29th, 2009, we converted #designerscouch from a 'club' to a 'group', making it the first official inclusion in our Groups platform. Since then, we've converted over 7,000 clubs into groups!

The requests to convert old clubs to new groups have been steadily winding down and we've chosen July 4th, aka Independance Day , as the last day for club to group conversions.

What does this mean for you? Well not much really... UNLESS you're the proud leader of an old-skool club that has yet to convert to the super-savvy Groups platform! If that's the case, then your time is running out.

If you're a club leader wishing to convert, hurry to #convertaclub and take advantage of free club conversion before July 4th, 2010 at 11:59pm Pacific. Please don't delay, as this is the final call for all conversions.

If you're unsure whether or not you'll enjoy the Groups platform, or want to know more about the process, #convertaclub is armed with FAQs that can help... and of course, numbers don't lie! With 7,000 clubs having converted to Groups and over 46,000 NEW GROUPS created since launch, we're confident you'll like what you see!

Get converting before the deadline -- July 4th, 2010 at 11:59pm Pacific.
