One of the best features of Facebook are Facebook Groups. These interest-based pages are created and joined by users on the site. In keeping with the long-tail, there are groups for EVERYTHING. Recently, “I Read Business 2.0–and I want to keep reading!” has attracted some heavy hitters who hope to save the struggling tech mag. There are many “I lost my cellphone and I need everyone’s #s!” groups. (Youth are much more lax about losing their phones for this reason.) There are activist groups like For every 1000 ppl that join this group, I’ll donate $1 to the Human Fund. Some serve more like a group blog and message board (I live for celebrity gossip). Most are just another funny title to add to your profile for some self-expression (Whitney Houston for President). Here’s a curation of some noteworthy Facebook groups. It doesn’t get more niche than this…
Nostalgic: “I Just Tried to Ford the River and My @%# Oxen Died” “In memory of Fraggle Rock, L.A. Gear, Side Pony Tails, and Snap Bracelets…we were Made in the 80s” “No, I haven’t read that great literary classic–But I’ve seen the Wishbone!” “When I was Your Age, Pluto was a Planet”
Will Ferrel: “I Don’t Know How to Put This But I’m Kind of a Big Deal…People know me,” (plus Christopher Walken) “BABY, I just gotta have more COW BELL,” “Fans of Pearl, the Scariest Landlord Ever”
Major-Specific: “Baby, I wish I was your derivative so I could lay tangent to your curves” “Acting Major? So you don’t have any real classes then, right?” “I’m a fermata…hold me” “If I were an enzyme I’d be DNA Helicase so I could unzip your genes”
Non Sequitur: “Automatic Doors Make Me Feel Like a Jedi” “it wasn’t awkward until you said ‘well, this is awkward.’ now its awkward.” “Writing Papers Single Spaced First Makes My Double Spaced Result Climactic“
Tributes: “Dwight Army of Champions” “Hey Hermano! The Buster Bluth Society” “Everything I Know I Learned from Family Guy”
On Relationships: “8th Graders need to back off 9th grade guys, especially other people’s BF’S” (When college students first noticed this group they took it over) “Awkward Engagement Pictures Rock My Socks“(My Favorite, Right) “Why am I single when everyone in the Medieval Club has a lover?” “My Friends are Getting Married. I’m Just Getting Drunk.”
Facebook relationships are a whole ‘nother story…
