Social media groups 'enhanced for user collaboration'Social media groups 'enhanced for user collaboration'


Facebook has improved its Group design in order to develop the way users can collaborate on the social networking service.
Facebook has announced that it has developed its group feature to make it easier for people to communicate and work together on the social media website.
Knot Pipatsrisawat, a software engineering intern writing on the website's official blog, revealed that messages and activities occurring in groups will appear on users' news feed.
He noted that group design now looks very similar to profiles and pages, but that businesses should remember there is a difference between them.
"Groups are for fostering member-to-member collaboration, while Pages remain the best way to broadcast messages to your fans if you are a business, organisation, public figure or other entity," explained Mr Pipatsrisawat.
This new group design will be rolled out over the next few days, he added.
According to Robin Goad, a research director at Hitwise UK, Facebook is "far and away" the most popular social media website, gaining 14 per cent of all page views in September.
