Greeting
Recently I’ve comparing new features for Facebook Group. Its really a great move by FB coz they intentionally want to make more gap and differentiate between Pages and Group. As we know Pages more toward branding item.
You can watch Facebook’s own video below which provides a brief 2 minute overview of the product.
Below personal table comparison between old group and new group.
| Old Group | New Group | |
|---|---|---|
| Group Information (About) | Yes, there a section on left side bar to write something "about group" | No, totally depend on Group title and person who join it. |
| Group Chat | No | Yes, self explain - main features. Not suitable for big group. |
| Group Discussion (forum) | Yes, but most of time people discuss via comment. and those info will be push down. Not ready to replace real forum. | Nope. Its like Forum | FB | Chat (where FB reside in between) |
| Group Album | Yes, pictures can be segregated by group of album. Yet u just can upload to ur personal pictures and tag people in it. | No, pictures upload one at a time. great for poster or suggestion/ideas.. |
| Group email | Nope i dont think they have | Yes, this almost like groupmailing list. possible replace yahuogroup mail list. |
| Group Notification | Configured base on personal setting, confusing UI nav. | Group can be configure individually with basic notification (top right button) |
| Administer | Lots option (overpowered? lol) | Easy.. less is more |
| Interface | Almost like personal FB/Page | More leisure and simple... User-friendly |
| Other features | No Doc. | Doc - collaborate simple document editor. (remind me of googlewave) with revision history. Simple yet useful. |
That is the quick comparison mode … lol have fun with Groups – Share, chat, and email with small groups of friends.
