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 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 Group 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/
