Groups, Official Pages, Community Pages? What the…?
• Community Pages: Built around topics, causes or experiences
• Official Pages: Maintained by authorized representatives of a business, brand, celebrity, or organization
• Groups: • Allow direct communication
about a specific subject – not “official pages” *** UPDATE!!!
30
Community Pages
GROUPS UPDATE!!!
• New Groups• Simple way to stay up to date with small
groups of your friends and to share things with only them in a private space.
• The default setting is Closed• GROUP CHAT!!!• Shared Docs• All posts are shared• Posts via email• Collaboration not branding
32
Groups VS. Pages
Get an Official Page… and dump the group (except for special needs) or profile.
Why? – More than one identity is confusing
– Pages have tools for businesses (ads, data, admins, newsfeed)
– Your organization is an organization… not a person
– Groups and Profiles are limited by numbers

• TITANIC: The unsinkable happens.
• Wrongly accused ex-convict seeks both revenge and his long-lost family. Step off, you love-starved pie mistress.
• Tony knows something’s coming. Riff plays it cool. Maria feels pretty. Anita lies. Tony dies
