Join Facebook Group
If you understand the name of a group, it's truly easy: on the top left is a search box. Simply type in the name of the group there:
In this case, I'll be looking for the SupportSpace group, a Facebook group for individuals interested in SupportSpace, a very cool brand-new venue for finding and offering tech support.
Press Enter or Return after you have actually key in the group name and it'll develop one or more matches that give you a range of information:.
( if you desire to hack things, you can likewise develop a basic search question and include links to your own page or profile to let individuals find groups on specific topics or associated. The URL you have to utilize is exemplified by the following:.
http://www.facebook.com/s.php?q=supportspace.
simply remember to change "supportspace" with whatever word or words (separated by ~ ez_ldquo+ ez_rdquo ~, not area!) you 'd prefer).
