Mark Zuckerberg, the man behind Facebook, the most popular social media platform available, has announced a complete restructuring of Facebook Groups.
Zuckerberg has talked about the status of current social sharing functions, which were heavily reliant on algorithmic structuring, explaining that they were insufficient.
What he envisioned was meeting the perceived need consumers have to map our their real world networks online in order to share various items.
The new structure will not replace friends lists, but will allow you to start a group that is controlled by all the members of the group.
Through the group function, you'll be able to have group chats, group document editing, group file sharing, group pictures, and group software sharing.
Various other applications will also be available, and you can be sure that if this new design is successful that developers will be jumping on the bandwagon to create other Facebook apps that will function in the group environment.
This reboot of Facebook Groups has the ability to become Google Docs on steroids, with enhanced file sharing and the ability to collaborate mashed with the extraordinary power of Facebook's social functionality.
The uses of the new and improved Facebook groups could prove to be really useful in a number of capacities: for businesses operating in a satellite capacity, for students who need to collaborate on homework or group projects, or for teachers and students to take discussions and learning beyond the classroom.
You can even help your Grandma with her bills, or walk a friend through how to use their new mobile device.
Facebook oh Facebook, you've done it again.
