Friday, Facebook announced its new Facebook Community Leadership Program. The goal of this global initiative is to get people more involved in directing, leading, and building communities.
The social media juggernaut also released a new set of Facebook Group tools, for both admins and groups members. Evidently, the idea is to use Facebook Groups as a means for people to build these communities.
