Facebook is combining its Snapchat Stories clone with features Snapchat can\u2019t match in a bid to boost usage. Starting today, users of Facebook Groups and Events will be able to contribute to a Facebook Story visible to the rest of the members and moderated by the admins. This could be fun for parties, weddings, meetups, and more. In essence, these collaborative Stories will work like a private hashtag so multiple people can add content but only those involved can see it.<\/p>\n

Facebook product manager Connor Hayes tells me the features \u201cGive multiple people the opportunity to tell a Story from multiple different angles.\u201d People will see Stories on their Event and Group pages, as well as atop their News Feed. They\u2019ll be able to post while inside Events and Groups, or get the option to share there on the Facebook Stories share sheet.<\/p>\n

Snapchat has its own private groups feature<\/a>, but this is more akin to a group chat thread you can send Stories to. Facebook is enabling Groups around hobbies, professions, ideologies, and locations to create niche Stories content that might not appeal to friends but is appealing to fellow members with a particular interest.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Facebook is also launching Facebook Stories for its stripped app for the developing world, Facebook Lite<\/a>. For now, users on the low-data-usage version of Facebook\u2019s main app can only view Stories, but the company tells me posting is coming soon.<\/p>\n

The announcements come alongside a big overhaul of Facebook\u2019s Stories products<\/a>. It\u2019s replacing Messenger Day with Facebook Stories, and syncing both cross-posting and viewing. It\u2019s also killing off the Facebook Direct ephemeral messaging feature in favor of handling Stories replies and messages via Messenger.<\/p>\n

Facebook Stories posts will follow rules set by admins for the standard wall posts. So admins can either allow posts from everyone and delete ones they don\u2019t like, or they can require approvals of posts. And to encourage people to kick off a Story, Facebook will show an open bubble atop the News Feed for you to add to if you\u2019re RSVP\u2019d for an event happening right now.<\/p>\n

By integrating Stories with Events and Groups, Facebook has gone beyond copying Snapchat. And it\u2019s proving that it\u2019s serious about Stories for the long-run. Rather than just bolting on Stories, its intermingling the feature across the Facebook app. That could create sharing opportunities Snapchat lacks, spur usage by different demographics, and encourage original content sharing rather than generic link sharing.<\/p>\n
