Facebook Pages vs Facebook Groups

Facebook Pages vs Facebook Groups , which one is better? Ah, that old debate. I prefer Facebook Page over Group for the following reasons:
  • You can be more focused. I find totally unconnected random posts (incl for mobile re-charge and holiday packages) more rampant in groups.
  • More importantly, anyone can add anyone to any Facebook Group, especially if it is an open Group. Without their consent! I have been added to so many that I have lost count of them. In Pages, the onus of accepting your invitation lies with the recipient. Only those who are interested will join.
  • In Facebook Pages, you can join if you wish, in Groups you can quit if you wish, the onus of leaving is automatically transferred to you:)
  • Facebook Groups score hands down in numerical terms. If I were to start a Group and add all my friends and all their friends, the number would be very impressive. But I believe a better quality of interaction takes place in Pages even though the numbers are much lower.

These thoughts came up as I plan to consolidate all my writing related stuff over time to this , my Facebook Page, as distinct from my Personal Page.
 
I'd go by the facebook group. You can add loads of people into group and hence group helps in reaching broader visitors base. Page on the other hand is left totally at the discretion of the facebook user. Moreover people do not want to like a page unless they get to know its brand value.
