How to Have an Active Facebook Group

Facebook groups can be viewed on the left side of the Facebook homepage.

The Groups feature of the Facebook social networking site provides Facebook users with the ability to create a group, invite members to join the group and share things with the people in the group. This feature lets you compartmentalize your Facebook friends and interests, making it a useful feature for any Facebook user. In order to have an active Facebook group, you must simply create the group, meaning any Facebook user can have an active Facebook group.

Instructions

1. Open a Web browser and navigate to the Facebook login page. Type your Facebook account email and password in the spaces provided and click the "Login" button to log into your Facebook account.

2. Click the "Create Group..." link on the left side of the Facebook home page.
