Beijing time October 7, 2010 news, according to foreign media reports, Facebook held a press conference on Wednesday in California headquarters in the United States local time. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg highlighted the new features of the website group at the conference. This feature allows users to add friends to groups, making it easier for users to communicate. ^[1]

Zuckerberg pointed out at the press conference that the biggest problem with social networks at present is social sharing between groups. It is very difficult to apply the groups in the real society to the network social graph. Zuckerberg said that if Facebook can establish a group communication tool, users can freely share information. Zuckerberg said that the currently launched Facebook Groups will implement this feature.

Zuckerberg said that the most primitive way of group communication is to establish a friend list. But in fact only 5% of users are willing to create this list. For example, users need to create different lists each time they share different information. This method is unrealistic. Zuckerberg said the new grouping feature provides a social solution to this problem by creating a friendly user interface that allows users to add group tags to each friend. After creating a group, users can invite friends with the same label to join the group discussion. There is no limit to the number of groups, and the group can also choose privacy settings freely.

Group product owner Justin Shaffer introduced that each group can be controlled by group members. Group functions include chat, document editing, and other application functions. Schaffer said the group will also add Graph API functionality, allowing users to develop related applications.

Chris Cox, Facebook product manager, added that Facebook groups can create images or logos, which is a way to distinguish different groups. Zuckerberg said that groups will not replace the friend list function, but as an important function of the development of social networks.

The launch of Facebook Groups by Facebook will undoubtedly kill five sites. These sites are:

-Group collaboration website Asana, which was founded by Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz;

--37signals, Campfire chat service provider;

--Yammer, Yammer, an enterprise microblogging platform;

-Google, especially Google Wave;

--AOL, because AOL's instant messaging product AIM needs to be improved for more than 10 years.

In addition to the aforementioned sites, Facebook group functionality may stifle a large number of other group collaboration products.

Frommer said that the Facebook group function will not necessarily succeed in destroying the aforementioned websites. The Facebook group feature is a simple product, not a complex or innovative product. But the product is built on Facebook, which will undoubtedly make the product quickly reach a large audience. ^[2]
