like California, Pa.– Can control who joins by
making group open, closed or secret

– Messages go to members inbox.
– All group activity goes out into feeds (wall posts, photos uploaded, discussion threads, etc.)
– Anyone can start a group around any topic
– More personal
http://sai.calu.edu/maclab
• CONS– Is an extension of a personal
account, so content is linked to a person
– Once over 5000 members, can’t message all members
– Minimal customization– Can’t add applications– Tricky to delete– Can’t assign custom
username– No analytic or demographic
information available– Administrator name is public

The Bottom Line
http://sai.calu.edu/maclab
"While Groups and Pages now look the same, they still serve different purposes. Groups are for fostering member-to-member collaboration, while Pages remain the best way to broadcast messages to your fans if you are a business, organization, public figure or other entity.”

Start With a Plan
• How will your club will use the account? What is your goal for the page?– Recruitment? Within Cal? HS?– Communication with current members– Promotion of events– Alternative web page
• How often will you update? Will someone be charged with this task?– Facebook pages take time to keep up to date. You don’t want to create a Goup or
a Page, then abandon it.• Do you need assistance setting up the Group/Page?
– If yes, MAC Lab students are available to assist you with the creation and enhancement of your Facebook page.
• Get support from all your current members– Have a group planning session to answer these questions– Make sure every member joins– Encourage all members to contribute to the page
