I think the above stats encourage you enough to create an engaging, nice Facebook group.

What is Facebook group?

A Facebook group facilitates communication with other users on Facebook on a specific topic, irrespective of the fact they are your friends or not. For instance, we can create a group pertinent to college and can communicate with our college mates on the same Facebook group without adding them to our Facebook friend list. There are three type of Facebook groups:

• Public Group

• Closed Groups

• Secret Groups

Public Group:

This is an open type of group anyone can join or be added or invited by any member of the group.

Anyone can see the group, its member's and posts.

In a public group, anyone can see a group’s name, group members, group description, group tags, content (news feed and post) of the group. Even Public group can be found via search.

Closed Groups:

This is the semi-private type of group where anyone can ask to join or be added or invited by a member. All the above privacy settings are the same except one - Only current members see stories about the groups like news feeds and content posted in the group.

Secret Group:

As the name suggests, it is the most private and high privacy group. Only members can find the group and see posts. Anyone can be a member of this group, but he/she first need to be added or invited by a member. Only the current member can see the stories about group and content posted on the particular group.
