Facebook's newest priority isn't a shiny new tech**logy or a funky new predictive algorithm. It's Groups, one of the earliest features on TheFacebook.com.*
These aren't your sophomore year of college Groups though. Facebook is pointing to a ****** of highly-engaged collectives that highlight why they believe that Groups will play an important part in the future of Facebook—and fulfill CEO Mark Zuckerberg's goal to "bring the world closer together (http://mashable.com/2017/06/22/facebook-group-updates-communities-summit/#29Bi8.HFjmqa?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=)."
