If you joined our Facebook Group and find that it has closed please don’t panic! We’ve just moved the First Event Facebook Group over to a First Event Facebook Page. We’re sorry for any confusion on this, but here’s a handy chart showing the differences between a Facebook Page and a Facebook Group:
| Facebook Page | Facebook Group |
| Facebook Pages enable public figures, businesses, organizations and other entities to create an authentic and public presence on Facebook | Facebook Groups are the place for small group communication and for people to share their common interests and express their opinion. Groups allow people to come together around a common cause, issue or activity |
| Always Public | Categorized into 1) Open 2) Closed and 3) Private / Secret |
| Facebook Pages, on the other hand, support applications. We can customize the page as we like with addable applications. We can add more tabs and other features with the help of external applications. | Facebook Group does not support a customizable application feature. |
| A Facebook page allows First Event to have a more descriptive URL | A Facebook Page does not allow for a descriptive URL |
So the page is better option for us at First Event. Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and we invite you to join the First Event FB Page now here: https://www.facebook.com/First.Event.Boston/
