About five days ago at its press conference in Palo Alto in California Facebook unveiled the new version of its Groups. Groups is a feature in this social media giant that allows the members to come together in activities such as document sharing, group chat, email lists and group photo tagging.
Built from scratch CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg says the product is completely new and only shares its name with the former Groups feature. The old groups will continue to remain while hence forth users will only be able to create the new version of the groups.
The groups are spaces where groups of friends can mingle and share information. These groups are closed to the general at large by default. The groups can be open and even secret. An important feature which is poised to give new outlook and direction to Facebook is that the group will be controlled by all its members unlike someone heading a group.
An exciting new feature is group chat. This allows all the members in the group to participate in conversations at the same moment. Once you participate in groups the most viewed groups will appear in the left hand side of the page. This piece of news has got my friends and colleagues excited. This feature is sure to gain momentum for leisure activities as well as among professionals for business purposes. Its like a new dimension to explore.
