Title: Hands-on with Facebook Groups, a spin-off app you’ll actually want to use Post by: HCK on November 20, 2014, 03:00:46 pm Hands-on with Facebook Groups, a spin-off app you’ll actually want to use
<article> <section class="page"> <p> Facebook’s Groups are one of the network’s original features. They’ve changed over the years, like the rest of the network, but Groups remain incredibly popular, even though they’re buried in the left rail of your News Feed like afterthoughts.

This week, Facebook Groups got the same treatment with a brand new iOS and Android app (http://www.facebookgroups.com/) that takes the Groups that more than 650 million people use every month and makes them easily accessible.</p><p> In Facebook’s early days, Groups were a fun, throwaway feature. In college, I joined groups for Las Vegas natives, Pulp Fiction fans, residents of my dorm, and, my personal favorite, a group where everyone recounted the word that knocked them out of the elementary school spelling bee. (Facetious. I still remember.)</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2849934/hands-on-with-facebook-groups-a-spin-off-app-you-ll-actually-want-to-use.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Hands-on with Facebook Groups, a spin-off app you’ll actually want to use (http://www.macworld.com/article/2849934/hands-on-with-facebook-groups-a-spin-off-app-you-ll-actually-want-to-use.html#tk.rss_all) |
