I created a Project Management Stack Exchange Facebook Page to help promote the new Project Management Stack Exchange Site.

One of the users suggested a Facebook Group instead. I use Facebook, and I've searched the help pages, but it's not immediately clear to me what the advantages and disadvantages are.

Can you provide a list of uses for Groups and uses for Facebook Pages and perhaps some links to resources that help differentiate one from the other?
