1. How does Weights affect Groups?

Weights works and operates the same for Groups as it does for the entire CrowdTangle system. We benchmark how many likes, comments and shares posts in Groups normally get over time, and show you how any new post compares to that average.

2. Will Browse Groups be available like Browse Lists?
Yes. We've compiled a few lists of public groups by metro areas to help get you started.

3. How many Facebook Groups is CrowdTangle tracking?
We are tracking 53,000+ Groups and adding more every day.

4. Can Private Groups be tracked in CrowdTangle?
No. When searching, you can only add public Facebook Groups. Note that Closed groups may appear, but we cannot access the posts from them.

5. When I click on the member’s name who posted content what happens, and can I see their profile?
When you click the member's name a tab will open up with their profile, but you won’t be able to see anything beyond that unless you’re friends with them or their profile is public.

6. How do I see how many members are part of a Group?
You can see the number of members when you utilize the Search for Groups. Members are displayed below the Group name. You can also view member counts by going to the Leaderboard for any Groups List in your Facebook dashboard.
