A Few Group Attributes to Point Out.

Messages/Chat- Among the terrific things about Groups is you can start a Group chat/message with either all members of a group or select members.
This is especially useful when you have a statement to make or need to rapidly collaborate on an item/issue.
Events- An attribute most likely not used typically sufficient in Groups is Events. Inside the group you can produce events that just participants can see & RSVP for.
Simply click on the "Occasions" tab to the left and afterwards "Create Event" & the lightbox below will load to produce your event.
Files- Inside Groups you can share files of any kind of kind as well as develop Papers which Group members can add to & Group up on.
