Switching to Facebook New Groups

billibala — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 13:35:07 +0000

This could be the worst naming convention for new products in the social web. Anyways…

We are switching from our current Facebook old group to Facebook new group. The new CocoaHeads Hong Kong group page is here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_198347553525130. Our Facebook alias facebook.cocoahk.com is pointing to our new destination as well.

Our old group will be removed some time in the coming months. If you still wanna get event messages and discuss with other fellow developers, please join the new group now!

New group is a product launched by Facebook back in October 2010. It serves pretty much like the old group except that it’s more social.

That sounds lame, but we still transit to the new group because…

You can check new group’s activities through the official Facebook iPhone app.
Facebook will not add new features to old group

The new group comes with draw back too. It is my personal experience that Facebook keeps sending notification about what’s happening in a group to me through email. To avoid getting unnecessary notification by email, you can change the notification setting from the group page.

I urge you to make good use of the new group’s more social aspect. Share interesting links, post topics you wanna discuss and plug your new app there!

If you are sensitive to spammy email notification, please spend a moment to check the group setting highlighted above. Hope you enjoy our new Facebook destination.
