"Groups" is New Facebook, the replacement for the Network pages.
Used to be there was a whole section of the site meant for connecting with people at the same college/university as you, that you were automatically included in based on your email domain. It had a calendar and events and was geared towards real-world interaction.

- Izkata 6mo agoYou're thinking of something else, Groups didn't exist until 2010 (though I thought it was a bit earlier, like 2008 - I thought they came out about the same time the Network pages went away, while I was still in college): https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/oct/07/facebook-groups https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/oct/07/facebook-... I do remember Friend Lists were much earlier though.
- thaumasiotes 6mo ago> You're thinking of something else, Groups didn't exist until 2010 No, I'm not thinking of something else. You are assuming that when I say "groups", I'm thinking of the feature called "Facebook Groups" in your link, which is a stupid thing for you to assume. Here's a preserved screenshot of a 2005 page: https://www.shareaholic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Facebook-2004.jpg https://www.shareaholic.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/... See the link in the left-hand sidebar saying "My Groups"?
