Here are the biggest announcements, product updates, and news stories impacting the digital marketing industry last week: Facebook Announces Groups For Pages
Run a Facebook page? Now you can create a Facebook group and link it directly to your page. This marks the first time that pages, essentially businesses and brands, can create groups. Previously, groups could only be created and moderated by individual user accounts. The product has been in testing since April, when CNET first reported on it, but now appears to be live globally. An example of how esers can access Groups linked to a Page is pictured below. For more on this, checkout the announcement from Facebook CFO Chris Cox on his Facebook page.

After getting started and selecting your interest, just start scrolling!
