Facebook groups: what's your poison?

Ah, Facebook. I've managed to make the site unusable for myself by accepting friend requests from too many people I don't really know, which means my 'news feed is full of random, tedious updates from strangers. I've moved on.

Part of the problem was joining groups on Facebook. It seemed amusing at the time to join 'People who always have to spell their names for other people' , 'I judge you when you use poor grammar' and 'We'll only pay for a state funeral for Thatcher if she's buried alive', but they just added to the digital detritus.

Zoe Williams has a great piece in G2 today exploring the weird and wonderful world of Facebook groups. So now it's time to share. What's your best discovery, the biggest waste of Facebook space and has any group really made a difference in the real world beyond wrecking a few distraught parents' homes?
