Facebook is always full of surprises, the American company launching today new functions for users who use its social network daily from various corners of the planet. More precisely, Facebook launched today a function called "Groups for Pages", allowing page administrators to create groups for people who follow their daily news.
Facebook allows the creation of multiple groups for the pages available within its social network, and in these the users will be able to discuss with each other, but also with the administrators of the pages. Groups can be created for various topics of interest that Facebook users have, but only the administrators of the respective pages will be able to create these groups, so no one else.
Facebook thought of these groups for pages as a kind of fan clubs where users who like the respective pages can meet to discuss what is published there. The idea came from American journalists, who created a Facebook group for a well-read newspaper where readers could chat freely with the journalists who wrote articles for that newspaper.
Facebook - new features launched today
Facebook says that using this new function, pages can create special groups without using user profiles for this, and the security of users is also increased. The idea of the people from Facebook is very interesting and will certainly be of great help to many people, especially since there are many people who use the groups that exist in the social network on a daily basis.
Facebook claims that there are currently 70 million pages that represent artists, businesses, brands or online publications. From this figure we can extrapolate, and thus we can reach hundreds of millions of Facebook groups created around the pages that are currently available in the social network, but everything also depends on the administrators' interest in this.
"We're making Groups for Pages available around the world today. If you are an artist, a business, a brand, or a newspaper, you can now create fan clubs and groups centered around your super-fans. There are over 70M Pages on Facebook so we hope this unlocks a lot of goodness. If you are an artist, a business, a brand, or a newspaper, you can now create fan clubs and groups centered around your super-fans."
Facebook is constantly trying to bring new things to its users from all over the world, and this new feature will help them get in touch more easily with the people they follow. Whether we are talking about businesses, artists, or any other kind of people or companies that have Facebook pages, groups can be created at any time, after the new function will propagate and become active for users.
Facebook has not announced how long it might take until the function becomes active for everyone, so we have to wait for it to become active.
