I hope you had a great holiday weekend! Last week I ran a poll on LinkedIn to see if my findings were happening to others. I’ve noticed over the course of the past six months that a few of the FB groups I created haven’t been getting much attention and the people who joined them have more or less forgotten about it. I have created many LinkedIn groups and it seems that these groups continue to grow and there are great discussions within them.

I setup a survey last week to see what others where finding. The question, “Do you have better participation with your LinkedIn or FB groups?” I had about 40 to 50 people respond with great feedback. Many of the people that responded (about 90%) said they have more luck with the LinkedIn groups. I think one of the major issues with the FB groups is that they are very hard to find. Many of my FB friends and connects don’t know where to find groups. On LinkedIn, you are able to find the groups much easier. It is too early to report the status of the newly created LinkedIn group because of the holiday weekend, but I’m very happy with the results so far versus the Facebook group that I created a few months ago. I’ll keep you posted on the results.

Here are my questions to you: Have you had the same results with LinkedIn and Facebook? Have you had success with Facebook groups? If so, any suggestions to the other readers out there? It would be great to hear your feedback on this. Like I said, I will also do some follow-up as I get more results from the LinkedIn group.
