Looks like FaceBook has revamped groups. Awesome! I’ve always thought that was a weakpoint of theirs, especially as we’ve been trained to look on the homepage for updates. Why, when the rest of the site is brought to us, should we have to go seek out what’s a happening in the groups ourselves? A consequence of this has been many cool groups have died of inactivity.
I hope these new changes revive groups in FaceBook. After all, they are a social network focused on helping people connect. What better way to socialize and connect than in a group? Real life socializing is about groups; we do do more than roam in solitude yelling out what we’re thinking and doing in the hopes of sparking some camaraderie.
There are groups that I’m part of that I wish people were into more, or I’ve neglected check even though there’s been activity, or that I’ve completely forgotten that I was part of. With group activity appearing on the homepage I expect some of these groups to be re-energized.
A small list of some of my groups
