Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses Facebook Groups and how to use them for business purposes.  Facebook Groups are designed for multiple individuals who have similar interests.  Connections with a Facebook Group are called "members".  Groups are not limited to the number of members they can have.  When you send a message to a group, if the group has less than 5,000 members, recipients receive it in the Facebook Inbox and they also get email notification.  If the group has more than 5,000 members, recipients only receive the message in their Facebook Inbox but do NOT get email notification.

This video was recorded on August 15, 2009 in Berkeley, CA.  It was part of a full-day workshop entitled Social Media Victories  Real Businesses, Real Campaigns, Real Results which focused on how entrepreneurs, small business owners and self-employed service professionals can leverage Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and YouTube to grow their businesses.
